Your interpretations of those scriptures, especially the one about the Church, just isn't right [...] no church is infallible

I guess I could have taken a page from the Protestant book and declare that the Holy Spirit taught me my interpretation. Yes, the Church is a communion of people, -- the people who are baptized and obey the Church. That Church is declared infallible by Christ in Matthew 16 and Matthew 18. It is a very plain text, too, -- no particular exegetical effort is needed.

I obey Christ, not THE church. I can trust that my pastors won't lead me down the wrong path and I am under their authority in spiritual matters, but my allegiance and my obedience is to Christ and Him alone.
