Which can in no way be the corrupted conglomerate that is the Catholic Church. The ekklesia that is spoken of in scripture and which Christ is the head of has no resemblance to the cultic organization that today calls itself the Roman Catholic Church.
>>Will you name an alternative church to the Catholic Church ?<<
There is no such word as "church" in the New Testament nor is there the concept that the Roman Catholic Church has constructed that it calls "church". The organization that Catholics refer to as the "church" is nothing more than a pagan religion built on corruption off and additions to the word of God.

It is always worth sharing the truth, but no human likes to have their sense of reality invalidated. Their only response is louder claims of authority.
Think the scene in The Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy sees behind the curtain and “the wizard makes louder and more threatening self-important claims.
Once someone comes to Christ in faith, as you know, it is evident that the claims are not only false, but circumvents the Gospel.
Share in love. Those who remain vocally anti-Christian identify themselves as the most in need of prayer.
Obviously a false statement
