Because it is not possible to find Jesus outside the Church. The great Paul VI said: "Wanting to live with Jesus without the Church, following Jesus outside of the Church, loving Jesus without the Church is an absurd dichotomy." And the Mother Church that gives us Jesus gives us our identity that is not only a seal, it is a belonging. Identity means belonging. This belonging to the Church is beautiful. Fancy that.
And when I point out that Catholicism teaches that there is no salvation outside of it, I get accused of being *poorly catechized* but when the POPE says it.......What? He is poorly catechized, too?
