The gospels record the Church as a single body united by Eucharistic Christ (Rm 12, 1 Cor. 10) and organized around her bishops (Acts 20:28) who meet in councils, teach and legislate (Acts 15). Re-read the catholic epistles, and Acts.

The Acts specifically mentions monetary contributions and shows that God was not happy with those holding on to their wallets (Acts 5:1-10)

But even supposing the notion of invisible church has any connection to historical Christianity, — it doesn’t — what do you have against civilization?

Again, you got it! Most respondents glorify an institution, not the "church"!
