““all that is necessary for the valid administration of the Sacraments is the direct intention, i. e. the purpose of performing the rite as is usual among Catholics. To demand in addition a reflex in tention, either for the administration of the Sac rament as such, or for the production of the sac ramental character and the infusion of grace, would be to make the validity of the Sacrament depend upon the orthodoxy of the minister,—an assumption which we have shown to be false.””
