In his address, he warned against those who "think they can have a personal, direct, immediate relationship with Jesus Christ outside of the communion and the mediation of the Church."

Well then, I guess that little thing between Jesus and the Cross was all for nothing then? (/extreme sarcasm)

Wow. Sure glad I left the Catholic Church in '92 -- because it most certainly was standing in the way of my having a personal and deep relationship with Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.

“Well me and Jesus, we got us a good thing going, we don’t need no stinkin’ church to tell us what it’s all about”.

You are still a member of the Catholic Church since when you were baptized a mark was left on your soul. Also when you were confirmed.

I don’t apologize for the Church, but instead, invite you back to sit down with a priest and get answers to your questions.

And you would be surprised at how many Catholics have a personal relationship with Christ — I would venture to say 95 percent of them.
