This article examines the relationship between children and the Eucharist at Trent by studying the Acta of Sessions XIII and XXI and by historically and theologically contextualizing Session XXI. It argues that Trent’s teachings on children and the Eucharist are motivated more by concerns about what is necessary for salvation than by reflection on children’s spiritual growth or membership in the church. While the council adequately articulates the requirements for salvation, it does not offer a comprehensive eucharistic theology, which could lead to deeper reflection on children’s relationship with the Eucharist.

特伦特议会的儿童和圣体圣事

本文通过研究第 XIII 和 XXI 会议的Acta以及历史和神学背景化第 XXI 会议，研究儿童与特伦特圣体圣事之间的关系。它认为，特伦特关于儿童和圣体圣事的教义更多地是出于对救赎所必需的关注，而不是对儿童精神成长或教会成员资格的反思。虽然理事会充分阐明了救恩的要求，但它并没有提供全面的圣体神学，这可能会导致对儿童与圣体圣事的关系进行更深入的反思。
