"I don’t need other people in order to have a relationship with Jesus."

You are exactly and precisely wrong about that. If you think you have a relationship with Christ without the Body of Christ, then you have a relationship not with the Jesus Incarnate but with some wispy bodiless entity.

It means you don't see with the eyes of the Christ, think with the mind of Christ, or love with the heart of Christ: because He looks upon the Church, understand Her condition, and pours out His blood to purify Her and make Her His own.

You have a non-Biblical Christ because you do not see how He deals with His betrothed, the Daughter of Zion -- foreshadowing the Church --- and accompanied her through 4000+ years of earthly pilgrimage.

You have a non-Gospel Christ because you do not see how He explicitly founded the Church and has accompanied Her for the past 2000 years and promises that He will never leave Her until the end of the world.

You have mistaken the Church for the self-strangled traitor Judas, and for "gay priests and evil people" who you think have defeated Christ. You think THEY are the Church?

No. The Church is not the Body of Judas or the liar or the murderer or the sodomite. That is spiritual deception. You are letting the evil win its repulsive masquerade. How little you understand. If you don't perceive that Jesus is rushing through Time and Space at the speed of thought, to rescue and defend His Bride, you won't with Her when He triumphs.

That’s all very nice.

You won’t find me there.

It’s full of evil people.
