Instructions: Please consider the following essay question carefully. Write your response in a clear essay that is double-spaced, Times New Roman, size 12 font, and submitted to Moodle by 11:59pm on Friday November 6, 2020. One piece of advice: It will be very difficult to succeed on this exam without citing from the books, in particular the Mick text and the Donnelly text. There may be some highlights of the Baldovin/Turnbloom text that would help your response, but if that is all you are citing, it probably will be insufficient. Please cite with page numbers or location numbers if youre using the electronic version.
Over the second unit of this course, we have considered the sacraments of vocation. In this essay, please identify some historical developments in each of these sacraments. The differences between married life and holy orders are probably obvious, but are there any similarities? If so, name them. What is the role of conversion in these sacraments? Finally, explain how both of these sacraments are related to justice in the church and society. As you are making this connection, I urge you to be as concrete as possible.

Donnely text (Sacraments and Justice)
