My objection was that you seemed to imply that the Catholic Church itself believes it is more glorious than God Himself — and that of course would be a grave error and misinterpretation.

The first line of the article said exactly that - nothing could be more glorious than the Catholic Church. My first post disagreed with the first line of the article.

Or, at least, that is what I intended to do. My understanding of Catholic theology is not that the Church considers itself more glorious than God. I was just questioning line 1 of the article. And, by association, the rest of the article...

Note to self: Must re-re-re-read my comments more closely, and make sure that they are more clear...

Ok, I just re-read the first paragraph.

With its divine foundation, sanction, and mission, nothing could be more glorious than the Catholic Church. But, of course, many people -- even many baptized Catholics -- don't see it that way.

Sounds like this article was written for you - a baptized (ok, a guess here) Catholic that 'doesn't see it that way'. Seriously, I didn't think that the Catholic Church thinks itself above all in glory, but the article says that...and was posted, presumably, as an article for discussion and education...I just wanted to point out that it was a bad foundation, and I now think you agree with me.
