God has never turned over the spiritual leadership of His Church to any human control.

Correct. The Roman Catholic Church, founded by Jesus Christ, is not under human control - it is a divine institution guided by God.

Unless you believe Christ has called and only has ordained RCC as that being the true representative of his word

I do indeed believe Christ's own words in the Gospel of Matthew.

So you believe the RCC as it stands today was the full extent of Christ’s Church and no longer does God call those to serve the the Church unless those employed by the Church agree they are acceptable. To serve the word of God, teach the word and live the word is superseded by those in the RCC that demand you be part of a human organization or you really can not be part of the Church of God. That is really some arrogance. In other words you can believe and partake in exactly everything the Organized RCC teaches, if you want to believe that is the proper interpretation of the word of God, but you can not be part of that church unless men deem it so. The Lord may call you but it is up to men whether you are worthy. Do you not even see how our Lord might take offense to that.

It is solely up to God whether you are part of his Church, whether you are worthy of being saved, to be part of the Catholic Church, the Church of God, that which is not a institution run by man, but made up of those God calls...not man.

Right.. a divine institution by God would not an Anti-Semitic or Anti-Zionist institution.
