Seven Sacraments

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

The Council of Trent session 7, canon 1, says, "If any one shall say that the sacraments of the new law were not all instituted by Jesus Christ our Lord, or that they are more or less than seven to wit, baptism, confirmation, the eucharist, penance, extreme unction, orders, and matrimony or even that any one of these seven is not truly and properly a sacrament, let him be anathema." (See SACRAMENT).
