Can. 1167 §1 Only the Apostolic See can establish new sacramentals, or authentically interpret, suppress or change existing ones. §2 The rites and the formulae approved by ecclesiastical authority are to be accurately observed when celebrating or administering sacramentals.Code of Canon Law, c.1167, §1-2, in Code of Canon Law: Latin-English Edition (Washington, DC: Canon Law Society of America, 1999), 423.
I think this canon is very closely related to canons of Trent (Council of Trent. Session 22 (17 Semptember 1562)) which defend the Church's special relationship to Christ's sacrifice.
