There isn’t much difference in the Church/church today than the American Red Cross.

Speak for your own "Church/church" there, chester.

The Catholic Church--as founded by Christ circa AD 32--has made no errors on the Gospel message...just as He promised.

I’m not presuming to speak for Harley D here, but, if I read his comment correctly he was referring more to the bane of the “social gospel” than anything else. redgolum made a similar comment and annalex agreed, that the fear is there aren’t enough Orthodox Catholics and too many “purpose driven” evangelicals out there that the Gospel message is being missed.

Your defenses are often snappy, well thought out, and often funny. I think you jumped the gun this time, though.

Hmmn... but the Church of Rome, as founded by Leo IX in AD 1054, has erroneously departed from the Gospel of Christ.  Specifically, the novelties of salvation by works and the sacrifice of the mass twist the Gospel almost beyond recognition.
