WHat didn't i reply to?

I think it was the only 'Church' being referred to. "The Church", is a colloquial term for the Christian authority, I don't think it is at all far fetched to suppose that at the time of writing, when referencing "The Church", they were exclusively referencing Christianity, especially as 99.9% of the population were Christian, and no other religion actually has churches. Can you give me an example of the term "The Church", being used to describe a Jewish congregation or Islamic congregation in that time period??

Wrong, partially true but not in this context, it is indeed far-fetched unless you're a historically illiterate moron, the percentage was lower, they were referencing the sense conveyed by entry 1.3 of this OED definition, and your last question is a strawman.
