"Maybe for a time it was those who started to worship a human organization rather than Christ."

The Church is not an organization rather it is the Body of Christ. Those who depart from His body do indeed form a mere human organization sad to say.

“The Church is not an organization rather it is the Body of Christ.”

Er...no. The ‘Body of Christ’ are believers; those saved by Christ’s shed blood for the remission of sin. The Roman Catholic Church is a man-made denomination—nothing more.

Now the catholic church(note the little ‘c’) IS the universal church because it is composed of all the saved. Little ‘c’ only; never big ‘C’.

"The Church is not an organization rather it is the Body of Christ.

Is that done by transubstantiation, or is there another process that's used?
