Righteousness and Holiness - Righteousness is good and so is holiness. But there is a big difference between the two. When we begin with God we must learn righteousness, which is learning, loving and obeying God's rules. A lot of people get stuck there in major pride-of-religion. And they really, really like it. They are the Christian Cops! They believe what they have achieved is it. Period! However, the saints break the rules of righteousness. So what gives? Well, holiness is that relaxed, close fellowship with God. It let Jesus pick corn and heal on the Sabbath. It let David eat the forbidden temple show bread. Righteous people are God's servants; holy people are His friends. Righteous people can't hear God's voice very well. Holy people hearken unto the voice of the Lord, which really upsets righteous people. Righteous people are rigid, holy people flexible. Righteous people might do a wrong thing in an emergency, holy people might do the perfect and creative thing because God might tell them and they might hear instantly. Righteous people have an extremely hard time understanding how to break the chains of rigidity and become flexible with God, who may be the most flexible entity in the universe. After all, God has to deal with six or so billion of us poor creatures, right? He is of course flexible, and our stiff-necked rigidity problem is pride. Righteously proud teachers say the book of Job says we must endure trials because we can never really know God. Holy teachers say the book of Job tells us we must endure great tribulation to get rid of our rigidity and pride-of-religion so we can hear, obey and really know God.
Righteousness means the quality of being morally right or justifiable.
Holiness means the state of being holy, sacred, saintly, sainted, or blessed.

Does the effectiveness of the sacrament depend on the holiness of the minister?
The Christian (and by that I'm intending to include Catholic) answer is no. The Bible says "all our righteousness is as filthy rags"... we are none of us holy, so any sacrament that depends on the holiness of the minister, rather than on the holiness and mercy of God, is foredoomed to being an utter failure. Other religions may have a different take on this.
