Such a shame that many men formed their own religions and beliefs, yet still claim to be partial followers of Christ.

You mean like Roman Catholics?
“Jesus answered him, ‘If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.”
Considering how full of unrepentant sinners the Vatican is, and how the pedo priests were shuffled around, and the homosexual cocaine orgy participants, and how the current Pope are still accepted within that organization, I really doubt that Roman Catholicism as an organization as a whole has any real claim on loving Jesus.
And of course, your own church laws compelling the laity to obey those wicked men in the Vatican.
How’s that for the Holy Spirit protecting the Roman Catholic Church?
Lol.
Yes. You are right. The Catholic church is full of sinners, even priests and Bishops. Just as Christ spent time with the sinners. Yes the Church has issues and problems and we seek to follow the example of Christ, the Blessed Mother and all the Saints. We do it as the Body of Christ and working together to help others to follow God’s will. Share your prayers with us so that we can do it better.
As Catholics, Christ gave us not only the Eucharist - His Body and Blood, but also the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the forgiveness of our sins.
The mission of the Catholic Church is to lead us to Heaven by teaching us God’s truth and praying to God. Even sinners can teach us about God and perform the Sacraments. Even Jesus recognized the Jewish ministers and told us to follow what they say and not what they do.
Yes, we can try to follow God’s will or only accept the teachings that we agree with and reject His One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
So you can apparently judge all the unrepentant sinners of the Catholic priesthood? That must be an awesome burden to have that power?
So you keep His words:
John 6: 53”Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. 54Whoever eats* my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. 55For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.”
May you find God’s peace and lose your cynicism about the Catholic Church and Faith.
