And human beings fail. The Church doesn’t.

Your Church defines itself as the community of believers, the assembly (ekklesia) of all who believe in Jesus Christ; or the fellowship (koinonia) of all who are bound together by their common love for the Savior. As the kingdom (basileia), it is the fulfillment of the ancient prophecies about the reign of the Messiah. And as the Mystical Body it is the communion of all those made holy by the grace of Christ. He is their invisible head and they are his visible members. These include the faithful on earth, those in purgatory who are not yet fully purified, and the saints in heaven.

As the community of unsaved believers your Church can not help but fail...Its own corrupt history and the long list of forged writings/documents that apparently make up your religious dogma are ample proof of that...

“Your Church defines itself as...”

It does? Can you post a citation to the official Catholic Church document that’s from? I think that’s just Fr. Hardon’s dictionary definition isn’t it? At the very least your definition should include this: http://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p123a9p1.htm
