Featured Term (selected at random):
Null and void, ineffective. Applied to the sacraments, it means that something essential was missing so that a sacrament was not actually administered or conferred. In ecclesiastical law it means that some declaration, or jurisdiction is without effect because some necessary element was not present.

A sacrament may be valid but not licit: the grace is conferred, yet an act of disobedience to the Church law accompanies the confection of the sacrament.
As one John D. Horton explains:
Valid v. Licit. Valid means that the priest who offers the Mass is actually ordained and that he uses the proper "matter" (i.e. wine and bread) and "form" (i.e. the authorized words of the Canon of the Mass. Licit means that the priest has "faculties" (i.e. the authorization or legal authority) from the diocesan bishop to offer the Mass. No SSPX priest has received faculties from any bishop who is the head of a diocese to do any thing, so in that sense all actions of the SSPX are illicit or illegal because they are done without the authority or authorization of the diocesan bishopSchismatic bishop calls Motu Propio on 1962 Missal historic “leap” (scroll to comments)
