What should you do if the priest messes up the words of absolution?

Starting this Lent, priests in the United States can begin using the new translation of the formula of absolution. Even without a new translation in play, sometimes priests make mistakes when giving absolution. What should you, as a penitent, do if the priest gets the words wrong? As is so often the case: it depends. Father Anthony VanBerkum, O.P. explains that we need to distinguish between when a sacrament is celebrated licitly and when it is celebrated validly. However, he also encourages the faithful to be patient with priests as they navigate the changes in the confessional.
