""Delinquencies and Penalties in the Administration and Reception of the Sacraments"" is a scholarly work by George Lawrence Murphy that explores the history and practice of the Catholic Church's system of penalties and delinquencies related to the administration and reception of sacraments. The book delves into the theological, canonical, and historical foundations of the Church's approach to these issues, examining the development of the Church's system of penalties and delinquencies over time and its impact on the lives of believers. Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, Murphy provides a comprehensive overview of this complex and often controversial topic, shedding light on the ways in which the Church has sought to regulate and enforce the proper administration and reception of the sacraments throughout its history. This book will be of interest to scholars of theology, canon law, and religious history, as well as to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Catholic Church's approach to sacramental practice and discipline.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
