I've no doubt his intention was valid but according to the relevant dicastery (in this case the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith) the form he employed was not.

The defect in form renders the sacrament void.

Eggsactly.

I mean if I try to use an undefined variable in my code, the compiler isn't going to read it and say "This chap was acting honestly, so let's compile this shit." No. It's going to puke and give me an error message. Same goes for The Great Compiler Gawd, apparently. Get your fucking code right or fuck off, seems to be the Holy Output.
