Description

Trent sessions 4 though 14

PDF p. 194 (p. 190) on sess. 7 can. 13, which cites sess. 21 cap. 2:

hanc potestatem perpetuo in Ecclesia fuisse, ut in sacramentorum dispensatione, salva illorum substantia, ea statueret vel mutaret, quæ suscipientium utilitati seu ipsorum sacramentorum venerationi, pro rerum, temporum et locorum veritate, magis expedire judicaret.

this power has ever been in the Church, that, in the dispensation of the sacraments, their substance being untouched, it may ordain, or change, what things soever it may judge most expedient, for the profit of those who receive, or for the veneration of the said sacraments, according to the difference of circumstances, times, and places.

PDF pp. 133-79 are St. Alphonsus's exposition of the Thomist vs. Molinism debate on efficacious grace (grazia efficace) and grace's relation to free-will; cf. Pohle (vol. 7) on grace.
