Catholic claim that marriage outside the Church is invalid is wrong — it is not sacramental but is still a real marriage; the Catholic doctrine of 7 sacraments is historically late

Mike clarifies Catholic theology: marriage outside the Catholic Church is not sacramental in Catholic terms, but it is still considered a real marriage. The family is mistaken even within their own theology. More broadly, the Catholic doctrine of seven sacraments (including marriage) claims Christ himself instituted all seven, that the apostles taught them, and that the church fathers universally acknowledged them. Mike counters this historically: marriage was not formally listed as one of seven sacraments for over a thousand years after Christ. The first complete lists of seven sacraments appear far too late to support claims of apostolic origin.
