Rebellion against the organized religion that Christ established, is rebellion against Christ.

I have non Catholic Friends that believe the Catholic Church is too authoritative. We have recently return to the Catholic church from and we are fire up about our faith. How do we talk to our non catholic friends about this subject?
Thanks.
I think Jae’s answer is very good. He said:
Jae March 25, 2009 at 1:29 AM
I agree with you bro ed. a good example of the guy named Koher in the OT, where he challenged Moses about his authority and questioned its origin.
By doing so, koher was challenging God Himself who had established that authority to Moses.

Even in Heaven it is very hierachical, e.g. different position and dominions of angels and archangels also in the visible Church where St. Paul described her as with Bishops, priests and deacons….the One , Holy, Apostolic, Catholic Church!
It is evident, from Scripture, that Jesus Christ organized a Church. He established an organized religion to succeed the organized religion His Heavenly Father had established by Moses. I would simply repeat something along the lines of what Jae said. Rebellion against the organized religion that Christ established, is rebellion against Christ.

Organized Religion=Legalism=Cult.
Jesus Christ established an organized religion. He established a Church (Matt 16:18).
Appointed a Leader (John 21:17).
Appointed a Board of Directors (Luke 6:13).
Appointed officials throughout His Church (1 Corinthians 12:28-29).
Jesus Christ established the first CORPORATION. The Church is the Body of Christ. Corporation comes from the word, “body”. And a body is nothing if not organized. That is why, human beings are “organisms.” Because God has organized our bodies (Rom 12:5-7).
Its an earthly institution that behaves like an extra-judicial heavenly authority
1 Corinthians 6:3
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
and usually has sets of DO’s and DONT’s, binding its members in bondage thru’ its non-reformable system. 
Matthew 18:17
King James Version (KJV)
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
Galatians 1:8
King James Version (KJV)
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Its composed of a thick-layered theological jungle mess that is accessible only to the core group
On the contrary, the Catholic Church is accessible to all men. There is no Church more open than the Catholic Church.
while the common men, has to sheepishly obey everything without any form of protest.
Hebrews 13:17
King James Version (KJV)
17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
The problem is, that you have never read Scripture. Or if you did, you didn’t understand what you read. You are living according to your traditions of men. And in so doing, have placed yourself directly against God. The Catholic Church is the voice of Christ on this earth:
2 Corinthians 5:20
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
Sincerely,
De Maria

I believe that the Catholic Church will be doing great service to the One Infinite God and to the Catholic faithful if they have leaders, priests and lay, who are well versed in the Bible to teach young people of its teachings and meanings rather than the Cathechism.
There are many such leaders in the Catholic Church. Most Catholic Diocesan offices offer all types of Biblical, doctrinal and theological studies in addition to the Catechism.
