Thanks for the links! I'll check them out tonight and get back to you.
I'm not a theologian either btw, but that shouldn't bar us from sharing our thoughts on theology. After all our beliefs at some point must be formed from something, whether that cause be experience or reason, otherwise we would just be going through the motions without sincere desire for life eternal . 

Especially within the Catholic faith where theologoumenon is limited compared to other forms of Christianity. 

For me personally, if the Church got something as central as the sacraments wrong, then how can any of its other claims be taken seriously
