sacer(sacrum) vs. sanctus (sanctum) Explanation: These both come from the root *sac- which means holy, consecrated, devoted, set apart (for a special purpose). It also means to confirm, ratify, decree or in a negative sense, to forbid (whence "impose sanctions"). Sanct-(-us, -a, -um) (masculine, feminine and neuter, respectively)is the perfective form of of sanc-, the verbal root of sac-. So in a word, the difference bet. sacrum and sanctum is that the first refers to that which is holy, while the second refers to that which has become holy. (state vs. process). Hope this helps to clarify it a bit! Fr. Peter |
