Sacramentals is a confusing term in Roman Catholicism. it should not be confused with Sacraments- of which there are seven. Sacramentals refers to what are broadly referred to as Religious articles such as rosaries, statuary, holy-water founts, sanctuary lamps ( sometimes called Torpedo Lamps from their shape). and other religious articles. there are doctrinal norms and specifications on some ( including, I believe , wedding rings) but not on others. you would have to pose the question on specific sacramentals- as sacramental as an adjective can refer directly to a sacrament ( Penance has a sacramental character, for example) there is endless room for confusion. Sacramentals- noun plural, refers to- broadly- religious articles.

Catholic AnswerAn action or object which in its performance or use bears some resemblance to a sacrament. They are numerous and commonly divided into six classes: prayer, e.g.., the Our Father and liturgical prayers; dipping, e.g., the use of holy water, various anointings, the Mandatum; eating, e.g., of blessed bread (not to be confused with Holy Communion); confession, e.g., the Confiteor; giving, e.g., alms bestowed in the name of the Church and not merely as a private deed; blessings, the largest class, including the consecration of kings, the blessing of abbots, churches, houses, bells, etc., the blessing and use of many other objects, medals, scapulars, images, etc. If used in accordance with the mind of the Church sacramentals are the means of receiving actual grace to do good and avoid evil, of protection of soul and body, and the remission of venial sin. These effects are entirely dependent upon the mercy of God who regards the prayers of the Church and the good dispositions of those who use them. They therefore differ from the sacraments both in operation and effect; but they are an extension of the sacramental principle of using material objects to signify spirituals truths and processes, and employing the unity in man of matter and spirit. from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, 2nd Edition, Revised.Catholic AnswerThe Council of Trent clarified and restated the Church's position on many things, I have never heard of a decree on the importance of ceremony, as such, but I am sure that you can draw such a conclusion on many from many of the decrees on the sacraments, as the ceremonies must be done correctly in order for the sacrament itself to be celebrated. .If the person asking the question is from a protestant background that rejects the "ceremonies" of the sacraments, then, yes, the Church reiterated the teaching of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, on the importance of the sacraments for salvation.
Yes, the Council of Trent reaffirmed the importance of ceremony in the Catholic Church, emphasizing the sacraments and liturgy as essential aspects of faith and worship. The council also provided clarity on specific practices and rituals to be followed by the faithful.
There is no direct evidence that Saint Paul instituted the sacraments, as they were established by Jesus Christ during his ministry. Paul did play a significant role in spreading the Gospel and explaining the importance of the sacraments in maintaining the saving work of Jesus through his letters and teachings to the early Christian communities.
