Will the six bishops consecrated by Bishop Williamson ever lead a true pilgrimage to Rome with the explicit intention of begging Pope Leo XIV to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, exactly as Our Lady of Fatima requested, before we reach the terrible milestone of 100 years of ignoring her request in 2029?

Context, dear boy, context.

"There are seven sacraments of the new Law, namely baptism, confirmation, eucharist, penance, extreme unction, orders and matrimony, which differ greatly from the sacraments of the old Law. The latter were not causes of grace, but only prefigured the grace to be given through the passion of Christ; whereas the former, ours, both contain grace and bestow it on those who worthily receive them."
All actions and words performed in the Old Testament did not confer grace. They have no binding relevance to the the matter and form of the New Testament.

"All these sacraments are made up of three elements: namely, things as the matter, words as the form, and the person of the minister who confers the sacrament with the intention of doing what the church does. If any of these is lacking, the sacrament is not effected." 
Agreed. There must be a matter conveying the form with the intent to do as the Church does.

"...the sacrament is conferred if the action (matter) is performed by the minister with the invocation of the holy Trinity..."
Matter is the physical ACTION conveying the sacrament in conjunction with the words (form) and the intent to confer the Sacrament.

"The second sacrament is confirmation. Its matter is chrism made from oil and balsam blessed by a bishop, the oil symbolizing the gleaming brightness of conscience and balsam symbolizing the odour of a good reputation." 
St. James did not mention balsam (gum/sap of the balsam tree). Nor is olive oil specifically mentioned as it does in Extreme Unction.

"Then they (Peter and John) laid their hands on them and they received the holy Spirit'. In place of this imposition of hands, confirmation is given in the church."
In place of? So the matter was changed from the imposition of hands to the chrism of oil and balsam...how interesting.

"The fifth sacrament is extreme unction. Its matter is olive oil blessed by a priest."

Nowhere in this docuмent - EcuмENICAL COUNCIL OF FLORENCE (1438-1445) - does it say that a sacrament is rendered invalid if anything besides Olive Oil is used. YOU and Fr. Hesse are the ones saying it would be invalid. Not the Council of Florence. The Council of Florence merely states that Olive Oil is the matter chosen by the Church. The Apostolic Constitution of Pope Paul VI states that Olive Oil is the matter of the Church. And like Pope Eugenius IV, and the Church Fathers of the past, he simply added a modification. Olive oil was chosen for its perfect symbolism, not because it has magic power to confer a Sacrament. It is the visible action of applying the Olive Oil in conjunction with the form and the right intent that confers the Sacrament. Thereby, in the case of necessity, another similar plant-based oil will also logically do the same as long as the form and intent are there.

And once again, as Pope Pius XII makes very clear, Pope Paul VI was well within his authority to make this modification: "...that which the Church has established, she can also change and abrogate." SO,4.
Ok, so your entire argument rests on the claim that the matter for Confirmation/Holy Orders is "oil" (of any kind).

Even though, the greek word used in Scripture = olive.
Even though, all throughout the Old Testament, olive oil was used EXCLUSIVELY, for annointing of all kinds, in religious ceremonies.
Even though, as pointed out, the symbolic meaning of Christ's agony in the Garden, is "mount olives".
Even though Florence says the MATTER is olive oil.
Even though Trent says that olive oil is in Scripture.
Even though Paul 6 says the matter is olive oil and it's in Scripture.

But you say "just oil".  :laugh1:

Please provide evidence.

I propose unqualified admiration for no human, not even myself. I keep returning to two questions: (1) "Who can cast the first stone?" and (2) "What are the accomplishments of the loudest critics?"

Whatever the faults of Fuentes, Gibson, Hoffman, or name-your-favorite-whipping-boy, what are the accomplishments of the critics? Really!!! Some of the critics seem to imagine that they were immaculately conceived.
The raw data speaks for itself. Nick Fuentes is judged by his fruits, and they are rotten. He is a Conciliar Catholic who praises the New Mass, builds a cult around himself, and leads souls into pride, confusion, and despair instead of repentance and the true Faith. Our Lord said, “By their fruits you shall know them” (Matt. 7:16), and the fruits of Nick Fuentes are corruption, not conversion.

I would take it a step further, in that enjoying the sightseeing & tour, while knowing well and purposefully ignoring the Gentile slaughter by zio-kikes is a form of acceptance and complicity.

“Hey, Fr. Asher, How about praying a public Rosary on a street corner for the suffering in Gaza?”

 “Sir, are you crazy… we will be arrested and detained!
Move along quietly pilgrims… there’s nothing to see here.”

I'm trying to get you to step outside your box and see things how the Church sees things. You are attacking a Vicar of Christ over this. Yes, the prescribed and preferred oil is Olive oil. No question. But there has been a precedent for similar oils being used in the history of the Church, when there is a case of necessity. The very fact that the Church allowed this - and allowed the mixing of oils - and allowed the mixing of balsam - when St. James prescribed only olive oil, proves that when it comes to the Matter used in Sacraments that have been determined by the Church, and by the power of the Church, the Church can make modifications as St. Pius XII outlines. That is the core point. Pope Paul VI, gave bishops special permission to bless similar oil in cases/places where it is very difficult to acquire olive oil, rather than let a Catholic die without Extreme Unction. As Pope, who Christ said can 'bind and loosen', he has the power and authority to do so. And I stress again, Christ instituted the Matter and Form for Baptism and the Holy Eucharist and then handed over His teaching authority to His Church. This is a scriptural fact. From that point on it was the Church who decided, guided by the Holy Ghost.

Writes Fr. John Bligh in his 1956 theological book 'Ordination to the Priesthood': "The official adoption of the terminology of 'matter' and 'form' had the unfortunate effect of encouraging theologians to think that the essential rites of every sacrament must be unchangeable. In the physical world whenever there is a distinction of matter and of substantial form, there are distinct bodies...that form plus that matter makes that body. Hence the terminology of matter and form, borrowed ...from the physical world (erroneously suggests) that a change of the matter and form of the sacraments would mean..new sacraments..other than those instituted by Christ...".  Hence it was concluded that the Church has no power to altar the matter and form of any of the sacraments. This erroneously conclusion...".
This guy Bligh is a Modernist.  :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:


Matter + Form = a sacrament
Christ created all sacraments.
Therefore, Christ created the matter + Form.

If one argues that the Church can change the matter/form, then you are arguing that the Church created the sacraments, which is heresy.

Yes, and it seems that recieving the sacraments, as necessary as thy are, have become the end rather than the means to the end.  The sacraments are received to strengthen us to fight. Not just for our own personal and private end but to defend the faith, conversion of sinners and the welfare of others.  What happened to the missionary spirit, spreading the faith regardless of the hardships?  Establishing hospitals, schools, and dying to defend the truth? 
I just could not imagine Our Lord walking in the Holy Land and not caring about the thousands of children being starved to death just walking distance away.  He would have at least vocally condemned those Jews committed the atrocities.

I would take it a step further, in that enjoying the sightseeing & tour, while knowing well and purposefully ignoring the Gentile slaughter by zio-kikes is a form of acceptance and complicity.
