..this is a story about finding truth, beauty, and fulfillment in an unexpected place..

Funny, I always thought it was about realizing you were a sinner and in need of salvation that comes from repentence and faith in Christ.

You sound just like a Protestant.

It's a both/and. Jesus identifies Himself with His Church ("Saul, why do you persecute me?"), which is why he tells us to "listen to the church."

Ignore the Church, ignore Christ.
