St. Jerome, In Matth., 16, varietates, scit qui ligandus sit 29: \" Quum peccatorum audierit quive solvendus.\" igo THE THREE ACTS OF THE PENITENT quently the confessor has the right and the duty to de mand an accurate and circumstantial description of the penitent's state of conscience, i. e. a complete confes sion of his sins. But the office of the penitential judge does not end here. Even if the penitent has the right disposition, the priest may not absolve him without at the same time enjoining an appropriate penance* This again cannot be justly determined without a com plete knowledge of the facts, because a penance must correspond to the number and gravity of the sins for which it is imposed. \" It is manifest,\" says the Council of Trent, \" that priests could not have exercised this judgment without knowledge of the cause; neither indeed could they have observed equity in enjoining punishments, if the faithful should have declared their sins in general only, and not rather specifically, and one by one.\" 15”",

This application must be a true ablu tion (ablutio vera), i. e. it must involve a contact that is both physical and successive. In other words, the baptismal water must actually touch the body and flow over it. This twofold contact can be effected by immersion, effusion, and aspersion. The validity of the present practice of effusion has been indirectly defined against the schismatic Greeks by the Council of Trent: \" If any one saith that in the Roman Church, which is the mother and mistress of all churches, there is not the true doctrine concerning the Sacrament of Baptism, let him be anathema.”",

The two Sacrifices are essentially identical, 14 and the Mass derives its entire virtue from the Sacrifice of the Cross. The infinite value of the latter can be neither increased nor diminished. The Sacrifice of the Cross, to employ a metaphor, filled the infinite reser voirs to overflowing with healing waters, from which the Mass merely draws for the purpose of distributing copi ous draughts to the faithful. The Protestant view of the Mass as \" a denial of the one Sacrifice of Christ\" is wrong; for the Mass does, and can do, no more than convey the merits of Christ to mankind by means of a sac rifice (applicatio per modum sacrificii), and hence is no independent sacrifice superadded to that of the Cross, whereby the latter would be completed or enhanced in value.”",
