In Catholic dogma, which prevailed at least until the schism with the Eastern church, and all over Europe until the Reformation, the church is the conduit to God.  The Church equals Jesus, equals the intermediator (apparently I just invented that word).

Here are a couple amended scriptures:

“For God so loved the world that he created his one and only universal Church, that whoever believes in it shall not perish but have eternal life.”


“The Pope answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Recall too the power the Pope exercised for a long time of condemning the souls of kings and heretics to eternal, or least long lasting, damnation.  That is a magical, magisterial power, if you think about it.  And you indoctrinate everyone from cradle to grave to believe in it.  The Pope as spell caster, as God’s magician, as a sorcerer who can curse both your present life and your afterlife.

Who created this dogma?  Popes, and those who benefited from their power, obviously.

Christ had nothing to do with any of this.
