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.

This is a false dichotomy. Christ is inseparable from His Church. That's why She is called the Bride of Christ. Christ ≠ church. Any church.

No one should bow down to a church. The church bows down to Christ.
