I really believe that some of these priests who are members of secret societies and put that membership first
are incapable of confecting the hosts, transubstantiating them... (if that's a word)... no red squigglies...
so anyway..
I have been to Churches where I either didn't feel a strong presence of Christ or... there was also a diabolical presence there.. which seemed to dominate. I don't know.. which is why I posted this.. I don't know
God can be mysterious..
But it says his eyes are too holy to look upon sin... Jesus looked upon it, though... I feel confused at times..
-
maybe they can still confect the bread but the Presence doesn't STAY. I have felt the Real Presence in one Church then later in the day (no sins committed) experienced the real absence in another Church
-
again:
looks like a lot of people here are more interested in :fryingpan: the Jєωs
than just about any other topic
weird
no wonder Jesus and the saints say few make it tO heaven... whole lotta hatin' goin' on

I don’t know of a reason they could become incapable in the sense of being essentially deprived of this priestly power (is there a scholastic term for this?). Incapable due to a persistent defect of intention that isn’t filled by the Novus Ordo form, because of an absence of belief in or knowledge of what the mass is, now that I could understand. If you have some apostate saying masses he believes to be mere re-enactments of the Last Supper as a meal - how could that be valid? But if he really wanted to offer the sacrifice of Calvary to the Father in the transubstatiated body and blood, with proper form, what would prevent him?
Anything else I could think of would be walking the knife’s edge of Donatism.

Fortunately, the sacraments operate according to the Divine Will, not the subjective feelings about Christ's presence of absence by someone on the internet.

Graceseeker has long been banned, notably for drinking the Fox News neocon Kool-Aid and her incessant rambling posting all the time.
There's a famous Protestant hymn/worship song/? called I Need Thee Every Hour. Certainly, we did not need graceseeker every hour, no matter how much she thought so.
In other words, it's good to see you back. Hope you're well and God bless.

Ability to confect the Host is present if the priest is validly ordained. One's feelings have NOTHING to do with it. Catholic ladies, let's study our Catechism. Feminine intuition can be very useful, but not with matters of doctrine.

Great to see you, Sigismund. I was going to say "you should post more often" but the fact you were downthumbed for saying this explains why not, I guess.

I've just fixed the balance! Great to see you again Sigismund after a long spell.

Once a priest always a priest
Ex opere operantis Christi. = the sacraments are works of Christ. It is not the priest who makes the host become the body of Christ it is Christ himself operating through the priest that causes the bread to become the body and blood of Christ. It is not the supposed holiness of the priest that causes the sacraments it is the holiness of Christ.
-
The question shouldn't be "Can a priest lose the ability..." but whether the Novus Ordo priests are even Catholic priests in the first place given the substantial changes Paul VI made to the New Rite of Episcopal Consecration.

I had hoped that once graceseeker got banned, these threads would just die out. It seems they’ll haunt us forever :|

LOL, I knew someone who had been present at the consecration of Bishop Dolan. Someone questioned the validity (due to the Thuc line controversy), and he responded with, "I felt the Holy Spirit there".
:laugh1:

I think you need more than "feeling the Holy Spirit" for a sacrament to be valid.
