If he has defined it as that, nobody has any right to change that definition.
Bullshit.

Quote:With the development of sacramental theology, marriage was included in the select seven to which the term "sacrament" was applied. Explicit classification of marriage in this way came in reaction to the contrary teaching of Catharism that marriage and procreation are evil: the first official declaration that marriage is a sacrament was made at the 1184 Council of Verona as part of a condemnation of the Cathars.
Late Middle Age horseshit. Probably when the church figured out they could suck a few more coins out of the populace.
