The text is divided in two parts and consists of 78 paragraphs giving instructions on the sacraments (baptism, confirmation, Eucharist, penance, unction of the sick), mixed marriages and the admission of the faithful to full communion with the Catholic Church. The directors of the two CEI offices explained that the reason behind the decision to create the Vademecum was the migration phenomenon that has strongly affected our country in recent years. According to the data released in 2009, the number of foreign citizens who regularly reside in Italy is estimated at approximately 4.5 million. Nearly half of the immigrants are Christian: among them the Orthodox faithful were estimated at about 1,130,000 in 2008. © SIR - 2 march 2010 Quote this article on your site To create link towards this article on your website, copy and paste the text below in your page.
