Quoted By:
The Catholic Church claims to be the authority and the vouchsafe of the Bible's chain of custody and therefore its direct connection to Jesus and his disciples... ergo, the Catholic Church claims to be a kind of divine interstitial fiber connecting the divine to the mundane.
It also protects priests who diddle kids. Faith is an important part of human existence, and we should all pursue it. But in the process of doing so, we should always be suspicious of structures which attempt to become the middlemen between you and your faith. They are intimately unnecessary, and gain much personal benefit in the process.
