Do you say that the Great Commission is specifically directed to a group including you?

Th Great commission is given to the Church. As lay Catholic, I have a part in it.

This is so "RC". Everything is filtered through the institutional church, which has the power to change doctrine and dogma if enough of it's leaders get together and say so. The individual rather than being empowered is emasculated.

Even during the Apostolic Era we have examples of a priestly class subverting Christianity for their own empowerment.

3John:9"I wrote to the church but Diotrphes who loves to have preeminence among them, does not receive us."

Our Saviour made our salvation an individual event, not a product of institutional control, to be dispensed by men at their choosing.

Luke 17:20-21 "Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them and said,"The Kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you."
