You mean the way the Scholastics made the Western Church, not the way Christ made it.
The Early Church was ecclesiologically more akin to what still exists among the Eastern Orthodox, which is reflected in my quote from the then Fr. Ratzinger.
No..what I mean is Christ gave HIS Church authority...not you. And what Christ asks of you is obedience to His Church not rebellion. If you rebel against His Church you are no better than the Protestants and you wound Christ again. You might not agree with everything about the Church, but instead of rebelling use the most powerful weapon you have....prayer. Use the examples of the Saints who were always obedient to the Church even when they disagreed with the Church or were being suppressed by the Church.
