Putting the RCC or even just the CC in place of the true church that Christ calls His “bride” is an error.
Putting any ruin of the Reformation in place of the true Church of Christ is absolutely in error. The handing down of the Faith goes back to what Jesus taught the Apostles. It does not include those who create their own faith by gazing at the content of their navels.
Again and again and again, no offense intended, that the “RCC” or the “CC” has been put in the place of the Church Christ calls His “bride”, is a matter of your opinion.
I believe it is a wrong opinion and that there is a visible, unique church whose mission and message Christ taught during His life on earth and which was born on the day of Pentecost with the coming of the Holy Spirit.
Christ’s church is one, holy, apostolic and catholic.
