My faith is in Christ. Christ is present in the sacraments. No other denomination claims that the Trinity cooperates with the Church as the RCC does - spiritually AND physically.

Thus, by remaining faithful to the Catholic Church, I am remaining faithful to Christ.

You, on the other hand, can only remain faithful to your intellect and literacy.

In the Catholic Church, one does not have to hear, see, taste, touch anything or speak any words to be "saved". By receiving just a speck of the Holy Eucharist or a drop of the consecrated wine, Christ is most alive within the recipient.

Terri Schiavo did not have the ability to say, "I accept Christ as my savior." She received the Eucharist intravenously and was absolved of all her sins in spite of her incapacity.

House of cards? I think not.

That's just the thing. All that stuff you said is a whole different Christ of a whole different religion. Not one I find in the Bible at all.
