In 1655 his <em>Commentary on Sacred Ordinations<\/em> first appeared. At the conclusion of a short treatment of the objections in medieval theology to concelebration of Mass he wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cEcclesiastical ceremonies are not eternal. For various reasons they can be changed, or indeed become obsolete through the changes of time. In this there is no danger threatening the faith. One labors in vain and battles ghosts with a hot temper who, to avert such supposed danger, is attached to them anxiously and worriedly.\u201d (J.
