| Resumo: | The COVID crisis has reignited an old debate on whether some sacraments can be administered from a distance. Due to lockdowns, the 1980s debate on penance by telephone has resurfaced, as has the question of whether it is possible to receive communion in an online mass. Both issues revolve around how we understand the sacraments and what emphasis we place on physical presence. The pandemic has encouraged us to examine more closely how essential is physicality with regard to sacramentality. Discussing sacramental doctrine and law with regard to validity shows that we are currently dealing with two approaches to sacramentality, one juridical and one liturgical. Depending on which we favour, we might come to a different conclusion on whether online sacraments are a realistic option. La crise COVID a ravivé un vieux débat sur la question de savoir si quelques sacrements peuvent être administrés «à distance». En raison du verrouillage de COVID, le débat des années 1980 sur la pénitence par téléphone a été à nouveau soulevé et aussi la question s’il est possible de recevoir la Sainte Communion lors d’une célébration eucharistique transmise en ligne. Les deux questions conduisent à la façon dont nous comprenons les sacrements et à l’accent que nous mettons sur la présence physique. La crise COVID nous a encouragés à examiner de plus près à quel point la présence physique est essentielle en ce qui concerne la sacramentalité. La discussion de la doctrine sacramentelle et légale de la validité sacramentelle indique que nous avons actuellement deux approches de la sacramentalité, une plus juridique et une plus ritualiste. Selon l’approche que nous privilégions, nous pourrions arriver à une conclusion différente sur la question de savoir si les sacrements en ligne sont une option réaliste. |
