The Catholic Church is "the single and exclusive channel by which the truth and grace of Christ enter our world of space and time"
This literally says that the only way any man can be made aware of the message of Christ is via the Church. That is, IMHO, non Biblical. The Church is not the only way men can be made aware of Christ.
The Church is not the gateway to Christ. The Church is not the gateway to salvation. The Church is one way that Christ may be revealed to pre-Christians but it is NOT the only way.

I agree ,much of Church doctrine is man made and not God made.
