I would guess that since Rome stamped his book with nihil obstat that John O'Brien knows the dogma better than even you. Here's another of his gems from the same edition of his book:

“' No act is greater than the consecration of the body of Christ'. ... The power of the priest is not surpassed by that of the bishop, the archbishop,the cardinal or the pope. Indeed it is eqaul to that of Jesus Christ. For in this role the priest speaks with the voice and the authority of God Himself.” John O'brien, Faith of Millions

The first sentence in that quote is from your Thomas; the rest is just O’Brien ... reflecting the blasphemy of ctholicism. I wonder how impressed God is with ‘good grades’ from church schools? Got wrath?
