An Acatholic Christian Administers the Sacrament of Baptism in the Light of the Legislation of the Roman Catholic Church. Historical-Ecumenical Aspect

Summary/Abstract: The “separated brethren” were authoritatively recognized as ministers of baptism as early as the third century, by Pope Stephen I (254–257). Nevertheless, the possibility of these persons performing the functions of ministers of this sacrament has been repeatedly taken up and commented on by the ecclesiastical legislator over the following centuries. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to present the issue of recognizing Catholic Christians as ministers of baptism in the legislation of the Roman Catholic Church in a historical and ecumenical perspective. To this end, the legal material of interest to us has been analyzed, from pre-code law to the norms currently in force contained in the Code of Canon Law of 1983 and in the Ecumenical Directory of 1993.
