Unfortunately for your position this "nonsense" is based directly on what Jesus taught, as well documented at Vatican II in Lumen Gentium and the other treatises on the Church.

Those who did not like the outcome, who pine for the Episcopal Church to dwell in their Catholic parish, write nonsense like "(t)hese later day scribes and Pharisees need to read Matthew 23 every night before bed to see how they measure up." pharisaically to their fellows in the Church who actually adhere to what it teaches.
