  • In fact, Trent explicitly condemned it as heretical to say that the Sacrament justifies even if the individual does not have the proper dispositions

    Re the odd case of Saint Genesius of Rome
    Quote
    One day Genesius, leader of a theatrical troupe in Rome, was performing before the Roman Emperor Diocletian. Intending to expose Christian religious rites to ridicule by his audience, he pretended to receive the Sacrament of Baptism.[2]

    As the play continued, however, Genesius suddenly while performing had a conversion experience on stage. He announced his new faith, and refused to renounce it, even when ordered to do so by emperor Diocletian.[3] Genesius persisted in his faith, and he was finally ordered to be beheaded.

    According to Butler's:

    Quote
    Note 1. The baptism which he received on the stage was no more than a representation of that sacrament, for want of a serious intention of performing the Christian rite; but St. Genesius was baptized in desire, with true contrition, and also in his own blood.

    Or did Trent consider the pre-Edict martyrs as a distinct set rather than as grounds for antiquarian precedent?
    Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you, all things pass away: God never changes. Patience obtains all things. He who has God finds he lacks nothing; God alone suffices. - St. Teresa of Jesus

    I have read that his conversion came about as he was being "mock baptised", so that it actually was a valid baptism. This may be of use to someone who can read Latin, St. Genesius' entry in Acta Sanctorum 
    If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you [John 15:19]
