A.:Tobeexact,weshould notsaythattheChurch"considers"shehasnotthepower. Sheknowsshehas,notgotit. Sheteachesasoffaiththat threeSacramentscannotberepeated,inasmuchas,inthe wordsofherCouncils,"they imprintonthesoulanindelible markthatcannotbeeffaced."

Youmustrealisethatthosewho conferSacramentsdosoonlyas ministers,notoftheirown power.Theeffectofthe SacramentisproducedbyGod.
