Abstract

With defining the discipline of the sacraments, the legislator has introduced a series of exceptions that in the danger of death abolish or mitigate some of the conditions that are applicable under normal circumstances. This paper is an attempt of the synthesized presentation of these rules. At first, the definition of the term of the danger of death was formulated, followed by systematic presentation of norms mitigating the discipline of the sacraments in the danger of death. At the end of the paper, the mind of legislator and purpose of the mitigation of law in danger of death was presented.
