Uh, any evidence for the bolded parts?
I will give you teaching, but it will mean nothing to you, but oh well.
#1- The Church exists here on earth, but also extends to the souls of the Faithful departed in Purgatory and in the Eternal Joy of Heaven. #2- From the time Christ said "woman, behold you son, son behold your mother", the Church was entrusted to the BVM.
#3- We recite the litany of saints during Benediction, on Easter Vigil masses, and at various other times.
#4- Christ didn't need some folding money as far as I know, that is not why He gave Himself on the Cross.
#5- Look at the example of the martyrs from St. Stephen on.
