B. Rejection of the Opinion

308. I argue against this opinion as follows: God is in the sacrament as to his presence, essence, and power not otherwise than in another body. Therefore, if he is posited as being there in some other way, this is only as to his causing some effect. But that he is there in this other way cannot be through any causality of the sacrament, for a sacrament is in no way a cause that determines God to cause an effect proper to himself. Therefore he is there in this way, that is, a way other than he is in another body, only by a determination of his own will, whereby he makes disposition to cooperate thus with such a body. But this disposition, when it has been made manifest to the Church, is called a promise or pact. This opinion of Henry’s, therefore, says nothing different from what was said of the other opinion, namely about pact or agreement.
