There are two kinds of sacramentals: 1. Such as accompany the administration of the Sacraments...and 2. such as may be used independently of the Sacraments and ha ve quasi matter and form of their own....The former are called sacramental ceremonies, the latter sacramentals in the strict sense of the term.- Joseph Pohle and Arthur Pruess, The Sacraments: A Dogmatic Treatise. Vol.1. (St.Louis:B. Herder Book, 1945), 111.
This is an example of an expanded moral theology manual. This book on the sacraments has a great section on the sacramentals.
This distinction is not made as clearly elsewhere and helps me to clear up my earlier thought about sacramentals being implied at Trent under "ceremonies and rites", which Paschang denies btw.
