RN>>>"Does the church not teach that the sacraments give grace?" NL answers .... No.
That answer was wrong , so I corrected it..
I am told the church NEVER changes its doctrine.. so the OLD Baltimore Cat.. is still true right?
Now read what you
the sacraments confer the grace that they signify. They are efficacious because in them Christ himself is at work: it is he who baptizes, he who acts in his sacraments in order to communicate the grace that each sacrament signifies.
Sees to me that says your answer was wrong as well... I like the Baltimore Catechism because all the flowery language is cut out.. you get right to the doctrine..
Did you know the efficacy of the sacrament is determined by the INTENT of the priest? So my friend you may have been baptized or confirmed or confessed sin or received communion.without benefit.. it is all about the priest..
I'm pretty sure that is wrong. A perfect God supplies sacramental grace, not an imperfect sinful human.
