There is no argument that some of the scripture is self-evident, but evidently it is not sufficiently self evident to prevent what was the fervent prayer of Christ, that we all be one.

But we are. You just don't recognize yet that we are one in the body of Jesus because we are his.

The Catholic Church is a divine insitution established by Christ in one of those self-evident scriptural passages, and not a "committee".

If you mean the universal body of believers I agree. If you mean the church of Rome you are wrong. The "Rock" is Jesus Christ our Saviour the Son of God. It is those with faith in him that make up the church militant.

Of course I mean the Catholic Church in communion with Rome. Jesus did not start any "denominations"; He prayed that such horror should not happen.
