You have a choice, follow Christ or follow the Catholic Church. This is not the first time they’ve strayed; it won’t be the last.
We Catholics did not “create” the Church. That was the work of Christ Jesus. We Catholics are but sinful humans. So are our popes. Some are much less so than others.
There is no separation of Christ and His Church. According to sacred scripture you will find no fault line between Him and His Body of Christ on earth that bears up such a statement as yours.
