B16 on the reality of sacraments Fr. Paul D. Scalia, NC Register Tuesday, July 21, 2020 It is extraordinary to encounter throughout this book Ratzinger’s consistency of thought and teaching over more than 30 years. One discovers in his earlier homilies many of the same themes — even the same expressions — that we know from his pontificate. One such theme is that here-and-now reality of the sacraments. It is their very purpose to put man in contact with his Redeemer not in a vague, general sense, but at a particular time and in a particular place. © 2023 The Catholic Thing. All rights reserved.
