So we don’t need a Supreme Court, right?

Not in the form we have today. And just as the USSC grabbed authority they were not given in the constitution,, the roman church has also done so in the christian world. The point is, catholics are saved and belong to jesus. But they are never his sole representative on earth,, thats all.
For example, the inquisition you so admire. The records state that 3 to 5k were murdered for heresy. (depending how you count) Yes, yes,, we know that was the civil authorities (wink wink,, nudge nudge) But torture, theft, and murder done in jesus name is insane. Those SOBs were satanic.
But also, blaming the modern church for what those guys did makes as much sense as blaming todays Porsche for building tanks for nazis.
