"Neither the Pope or the Cathalic Church "save" anyone. Only our Lord Jesus Christ does that."

As far as it goes, this is of course true, but the Fathers, back to the beginning, teach that, as a Liturgical people centered on the Eucharist and under the leadership of our bishops, the overwhelming majority of us are "saved" within our liturgical communities which is The Church.

I see the "church" as nothing more or less than the world wide body of believers. "He who is last, will be first." I only spread God's word, I have no authority over any man, I have no authority in a building called a church, or an orginization called a church.
