V.   Sacraments

The Cardinal Sacraments also known as “The Ways” are fourteen(14) of the thirty three (33) sacred rites of the supremely sacred covenant Pactum De Singularis Caelum instituted by the Divine Creator and entrusted to the Society of One Heaven and all associated valid entities being Consecration, Offering, Matrimony, Union, Record, Penance, Oath, Testimony, Investiture, Clemency, Sponsor, Convocation, Prescription and Promulgation.

As ways, points, junctures and hinges for the actions of the Divine Creator and One Heaven they are signs and gifts which express and strengthen the society and effect the sanctification of a community and thus contribute in the greatest way to establish, strengthen, and manifest spiritual unity.

Since the Cardinal Sacraments are the same for every faith and Society, it is only for the supreme authority of the Society of One Heaven to approve or define the requirements for their validity and what pertains to their licit celebration, administration, and reception and to the order to be observed in their celebration.

Sacred ministers cannot deny a Cardinal Sacraments to those who seek them at appropriate times, are properly disposed, and are not prohibited by law from receiving them.

All Celebrants, according to their respective ecclesiastical function, have the duty to take care that those who seek a society sacraments are prepared to receive them by proper instruction, attentive to the norms issued by competent authority.

Since Cardinal Sacraments imprint a character, they cannot be repeated.

If after completing a diligent inquiry a prudent doubt still exists whether one or more Cardinal Sacrament were actually or validly conferred, they are to be conferred conditionally.

In celebrating Cardinal Sacraments the liturgical books approved by competent authority are to be observed faithfully; accordingly, no one is to add, omit, or alter anything in them on one’s own authority.

The Celebrant is to seek nothing for the administration of any society sacraments beyond the offerings defined by competent authority, always taking care that the needy are not deprived of the assistance of the sacraments because of poverty.
