QUESTION 65

OF THE NUMBER OF THE SACRAMENTS

(In Four Articles)

We have now to consider the number of the sacraments: and concerning

this there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether there are seven sacraments?

(2) The order of the sacraments among themselves;

(3) Their mutual comparison;

(4) Whether all the sacraments are necessary for salvation?
