5.5. What about the other sacraments? Were they also changed?
Yes. After Vatican II, all seven sacraments were revised — often in ways that affect their validity, intention, and doctrinal clarity. These reforms reflected a new, ecumenical theology and led to widespread abuses, confusion, and invalid sacraments.
1. Baptism
While the traditional form remains in theory, grave errors are common in practice:
Water is often poured only on the hair, not on the skin, making the sacrament at least doubtful. Videos show even “Pope” Francis doing this.
The formula is sometimes invalid (“We baptize you…”), and the intention of the minister is often reduced to a vague celebration, not the remission of original sin.
If the water doesn’t contact the skin, or the form is wrong, the baptism is invalid. Without valid baptism, no other sacrament is validly received. Conditional baptism is necessary if validity is doubtful.
2. Confirmation
The form was altered, and the intention — to strengthen the soul against error — is often obscured.
The sacrament is often administered by priests, not bishops, and sometimes by bishops ordained in the new rite, which may be invalid.
This casts doubt on both validity and sacramental grace.
3. Penance (Confession)
The new rite downplays sin, penance, and judgment.
General absolution is often used illicitly.
Some priests omit or alter the words of absolution, rendering confessions invalid.
Many Catholics no longer go to confession at all — a spiritual disaster.
4. Extreme Unction / Anointing of the Sick
The revised rite focuses on healing the body instead of preparing the soul for death.
The new form removes references to sin and judgment.
The sacrament may be invalid, depriving souls of grace at their most critical hour.
5. Holy Orders (Ordination)
The 1968 rites of priestly and episcopal ordination removed key prayers and concepts (e.g., sacrifice, power to offer Mass).
The new rites resemble Anglican forms, declared invalid by Pope Leo XIII.
Many post-Vatican II priests and bishops are not truly ordained — making their Masses and confessions invalid.
6. Matrimony
Vatican II emphasized personal fulfillment over procreation, shifting the theology of marriage.
The annulment process was liberalized, allowing de facto “Catholic divorce.”
Many couples enter marriage with defective intent, leading to invalid marriages.
Conclusion
The Vatican II Church has:
Altered the theology of the sacraments,
Compromised the form and intent of several rites,
And employs clergy who are often not validly ordained.
Faithful Catholics must avoid these doubtful sacraments and seek the traditional rites, administered by clergy with certain validity, to receive the grace Christ intended.
