The objective of the early priest may have been to follow the injuction of our Lord to teach men to be disciples. But as time past the means of acheiving this goal left off from following the Spirit of Christ and took on a demonic spirit. Unsanctified men saw an opportunity to become like gods. Sacraments were devised as a means of controlling the graces of God. If the church could cause men to believe that God had entrusted her to administer the graces through the sacraments then she could rule the world. This would accomplish her mission as the universal church. And she stood unopposed for some 1260 years until Napolean gave her a deadly wound in 1798 when his general seized her property, overturned her church-state government and set up a civl government in its place, and took Pope Pius captive until his death.
Sacraments are a tool of the church to control the consciences of men through their fear of eternal hell fire. It is very difficult to develop a relationship with Christ when you pray to Mary, confess to a priest, suffer through mass every week, and hear very little truth. In my opinion, the "church" exactly fits the description of a cult. (See http://www.religio.de/cudef.html).
