The church is the body of all believers of all time.
It’s not an organization headquartered anywhere.
The *church* cannot exist without the people who make it up and there is corruption and immorality rampant within the hierarchy of Roman Catholicism.
*The church* is not an entity to itself that if you remove the people you have anything left.
“The church is the body of all believers of all time.”
Actually, that’s just a modern Protestant view. If you look at the New Testament itself, it’s clear that “believers” were those who believed as first century Christians saw it and not as latter day believers in a 16th century gospel saw it.
“It’s not an organization headquartered anywhere.”
The “where” is not as important as the “who”. Christ sent the Apostles. He did not sent Protestants.
“The *church* cannot exist without the people who make it up and there is corruption and immorality rampant within the hierarchy of Roman Catholicism.”
There is corruption and immorality rampant among ever population of human beings.
“*The church* is not an entity to itself that if you remove the people you have anything left.”
The Church is an entity unto Christ - its Head.
