“. . . the Twelve Apostles are the most evident sign of
Jesus' will regarding the existence and mission of his Church, the guarantee
that between Christ and the Church there is no opposition: despite the sins of
the people who make up the Church, they are inseparable. Therefore, a slogan
that was popular some years back, 'Jesus yes, Church no,' is totally
inconceivable with the intention of Christ. This individualistically chosen
Jesus is an imaginary Jesus.” - Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, The Apostles: The Origin of the Church and Their
Co-Workers
