It is also on of their most cherished sacraments.
And you can never break a sacrament... that's why Henry VIII decided to dissociate himself from the catholics and start the church of England... remember?
Thank you for this. You are correct. I hope that helps, Rob!

I suppose those people are not True Catholics™ that break it?
That is absolutely hilarious. I want to break god's laws, so I make a new religion. God goes, "Fair enough".
They are still Catholics. Catholics are not perfect people who follow the law all the time. :
I can say that first hand!
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
