You want to deny the obvious.
Jesus Christ founded the Church (Catholic Church)and Peter and the Apostles with the help of Jesus and the Holy Spirit starting to build the Catholic Church, which was continued by their successors until today, and still continues today.
Certainly as with any growing organization there are issues and problems, but the Catholic Church has stayed faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Even Pope Francis in spite of all the comments about his actions will not change the teachings of Jesus.
You can go with the teachings of Jesus passed down through the Catholic Church or have your own interpretation.

I am satisfied to go with the teachings of Jesus passed down through the Bible, not changed by the interpretation of a man. This is the problem the Pharisees had that Jesus warned them about. Study the Bible and you will find you don’t need to believe interpretations from someone else. Think for yourself, let the Holy Spirit be your guide. The believer can go direct to God through his Son, Jesus. No middlemen required. I will be in prayer that you see the error in what you cling. By the way, I love you enough to try and show you the truth. I am saddened to see anyone in darkness. I do not hate Catholics, or anyone else seeking to know the truth. YMMV
