God is always first, and for me that means the Church that Christ established.

While some may applaud such blind loyalty to a Church, I do not. First you are giving to this organization the priority that belongs to God alone. God does not share this. Second Jesus was born a Jew, lived as a Jew and died a Jew. Jesus was not a Catholic and neither was Peter. I am sure you do not see the conflict in giving your faith and trust to the Catholic Church in place of God because it is a visible thing you can more easily relate to. It has become your "comfort zone". If you had said "God is always first" and stopped the sentence there I would have agreed. But I must disagree.

You do read the Bible, don’t you?

Christ breathed on the apostles after his Resurrection giving them the power to bind and loose sins, thus ordaining them with the Holy Spirit as the first Bishops of the Church. And Christ gives the leadership of the apostles to Peter. We are still led by the succession of leaders from Christ to Peter and down through the Popes.

Even Paul talks about the Eucharist.
