So you give credit to the RCC instead of God for preserving the Gospel?

of course not, but the RCC was certainly the tool that He used to do so. I don't give credit to Mary instead of God for the incarnation, but I do recognize her as the chosen avenue for His intervention on earth.

That meme about the Catholic Church “giving us the scripture” is rather empty when you understand that God used Herod, Pontius Pilot, Judas and others to advance His plan.
