It’s much much easier to change denominations

If I believed that the Catholic Church were just a man-made denomination, I shouldn't be a Catholic in the first place. You can change "Catholic" to "Orthodox" in that sentence, and it's still the same thing.

You're assuming low-church Protestant ecclesiology, which is a fact-not-in-evidence.

44. Any blessing will be an opportunity for a renewed proclamation of the kerygma, an invitation to draw ever closer to the love of Christ. As Pope Benedict XVI taught, “Like Mary, the Church is the mediator of God’s blessing for the world: she receives it in receiving Jesus and she transmits it in bearing Jesus. He is the mercy and the peace that the world, of itself, cannot give, and which it needs always, at least as much as bread.”[30]

Just had to get that in there didn't they!
