Jesus did NOT found the Catholic church, humans did.

Jesus came to earth to overturn the old ways and to break down the barriers for humans to have a relationship with God (Him).
He did not come to earth to recreate the Pharisee’s corrupt model.

The way to eternal life is to accept Christ’s willing sacrifice of himself. There is no requirement to go through a bunch of humans created church rituals. When Jesus said on the cross “It is finished”; He meant it.
Nothing else was needed, No popes, no gold plated churches, no rituals or chants, no Mary worship, nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Nothing could improve on His sacrifice or perfect it. He didn’t need a Mohamed, a Joseph Smith or any other humans to perfect or improve what He did. All that is needed is for us to believe.
Those that teach that we need a human to intercede to God for us are completely wrong.
