As I read this as a Protestant, I think that it is not the sacrament that has the power to change a man, as evidenced by this failure to change the heart after the sacrament of baptism, confirmation (is that a Catholic sacrement?), but belief in God, being called by God, a relationship with God that makes the change. I view belief, being called and a relationship as one thing by the way.

too many Catholics imagine their Christianity to be the religious variant of their membership in other voluntary organizations...

...only not so serious or demanding. ;-)
