The problem comes in from the widespread misunderstanding by Catholics of what the church really is.
The body Jesus promised to build is NOT a denomination.
It’s an organism, not an organization.

If I ask, “what is the Church of God”. You should at least be able to give me an example of one.
If of course you and CB actually attend one.

It is rather a family tree and a community of faith.

It’s an organism, not an organization. Jesus commanded us to take our disputes "to the church."
If His Church is not visible and identifiable, then His command would be void.
But His commands cannot be void.
