What would Jesus do?

Maybe he would say something about being the cornerstone that was rejected.

Does Jesus, the Father or the Holy Spirit need a holy site?

Do we?

And in contrast to Peter, that the LORD Jesus is the Rock (“petra”) or "stone" (“lithos,” and which denotes a large rock in Mk. 16:4) upon which the church is built is one of the most abundantly confirmed doctrines in the Bible (petra: Rm. 9:33; 1Cor. 10:4; 1Pet. 2:8; cf. Lk. 6:48; 1Cor. 3:11; lithos: Mat. 21:42; Mk.12:10-11; Lk. 20:17-18; Act. 4:11; Rm. 9:33; Eph. 2:20; cf. Dt. 32:4, Is. 28:16) including by Peter himself. (1Pt. 2:4-8) Rome's current catechism attempts to have Peter himself as the rock as well, but also affirms: “On the rock of this faith confessed by St Peter, Christ build his Church,” (pt. 1, sec. 2, cp. 2, para. 424) which understanding some of the so-called “church fathers” concur with.)

Meanwhile, we are told by Catholics that holding to Scripture as the the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed is the cause of division, and thus is to be rejected, yet Catholicism abounds in division as well, some of which is due to her magisterium, or implicit sanction of diverse beliefs.

What if Jesus appeared to all of the squabbling monks at this church and said, “Actually, I was not crucified, buried or resurrected here, and I’m not telling you where.”

NO.

Act 17:22  Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.  23  For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. 

24  God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 

25  Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 

26  And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 

27  That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 

28  For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

“What would Jesus do”?

Turn over all their furniture and give them all a good whipping as he drives them out.

I believe what He DID is recorded in the bible.

Mine says He couldn't stand that area; so after 3 days He left it!
