"Nonsense, you made a statement, now back it up."

What is the fundamental rationalization of the Church?

Why is there a Church?

Why should anyone believe in what the Church pronounces? Do you know?

I'll tell you what I was told by "Jesuits."

Ready?

It is the Resurrection!

Are you OK with that?

Well I suppose that the tantalizing bait that I left out there is not going to be adequate. The reality is that the Apostles had to tarry in the City of Peace for a time.

It was the dispensation of the Spirit that made all of the difference. There was no Ecclesia immediately after the Cross.

The "Called Out" were manifest only upon Pentecost.

I challenge you to read carefully Acts chapter 2, especially verses 37 & 38, the words of Peter (the key master).

The New Law that was promised in Jeremiah 31;13, recognized in Romans 2: 14-15., Hebrews 8;10; Hebrews 10;16; and elsewhere......

But of course, I'll have to indulge the mindless rantings of the subordinates of the Jesuit sect for all of the days of my life because clout is simply a weapon that I shall never wield.

So be it.

Perhaps you missed these little tidbits from the Bible:

And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church. and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Matt. 16:18

And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.
Matt. 18:17

Take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Acts 20:28

I could have included many others. I suggest that you read the Acts of the Apostles to see the early life of the church established upon the apostles by our Lord Jesus Christ.
