Our fidelity is to a person, Christ, not an organization, a church, no matter what it calls itself.

This is a false dichotomy. Christ is inseparable from His Church. That's why She is called the Bride of Christ.
This is not a clerical bureaucracy. It is no mere human organization. It is the Great Mystery (Eph. 5:32) --- we should speak this on our knees --- with reference to Christ and the Church.

Note: our fidelity is to a Person --- because the Person is Christ and we are His Bride.
You don't leave the Bride-- you abase yourself to Heaven and implore God to rescue Her.
