- SECTION TWO THE SEVEN SACRAMENTS OF THE CHURCH
- CHAPTER THREE THE SACRAMENTS AT THE SERVICE OF COMMUNION
- ARTICLE 6 THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY ORDERS
- VII. The Effects of the Sacrament of Holy Orders
- ARTICLE 6 THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY ORDERS
- CHAPTER THREE THE SACRAMENTS AT THE SERVICE OF COMMUNION
