Pope Saint Pius X explaining how modernism/modernists attack the Doctrine of Holy Mother Church:
“Their articles to delude men's minds are of two kinds, the first to remove obstacles from their path, the second to devise and apply actively and patiently every instrument that can serve their purpose. They recognise that the three chief difficulties for them are scholastic philosophy, the authority of the fathers and tradition, and the magisterium of the Church, and on these they wage unrelenting war. For scholastic philosophy and theology they have only ridicule and contempt. Whether it is ignorance or fear, or both, that inspires this conduct in them, certain it is that the passion for novelty is always united in them with hatred of scholasticism, and there is no surer sign that a man is on the way to Modernism than when he begins to show his dislike for this system. Modernists and their admirers should remember the proposition condemned by Pius IX: The method and principles which have served the doctors of scholasticism when treating of theology no longer correspond with the exigencies of our time or the progress of science (Syll. Prop. 13). They exercise all their ingenuity in diminishing the force and falsifying the character of tradition, so as to rob it of all its weight. But for Catholics the second Council of Nicea will always have the force of law, where it condemns those who dare, after the impious fashion of heretics, to deride the ecclesiastical traditions, to invent novelties of some kind . . . or endeavour by malice or craft to overthrow any one of the legitimate traditions of the Catholic Church; and Catholics will hold for law, also, the profession of the fourth Council of Constantinople: We therefore profess to conserve and guard the rules bequeathed to the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church by the Holy and most illustrious Apostles, by the orthodox Councils, both general and local, and by every one of those divine interpreters the Fathers and Doctors of the Church. Wherefore the Roman Pontiffs, Pius IV. and Pius IX., ordered the insertion in the profession of faith of the following declaration: I most firmly admit and embrace the apostolic and ecclesiastical traditions and other observances and constitutions of the Church.”

Uh, no.
THE Church is both the Mystical Body of Christ and an Ecclesial Structure.
Here’s a fraternal correction for you courtesy of Pope Saint Pius X:
Q: WHAT DOES THE NINTH ARTICLE: THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH, THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS, TEACH US?
A: The Ninth Article of the Creed teaches us that Jesus Christ founded a visible society on earth called the Catholic Church, and that all those who belong to this Church are in communion with one another.
Q: WHAT IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?
A: The Catholic Church is the Union or Congregation of all the baptized who, still living on earth, profess the same Faith and the same Law of Jesus Christ, participate in the same Sacraments, and obey their lawful Pastors, particularly the Roman Pontiff.
Q: STATE DISTINCTLY WHAT IS NECESSARY TO BE A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH?
A: To be a member of the Church it is necessary to be baptized, to believe and profess the teaching of Jesus Christ, to participate in the same Sacraments, and to acknowledge the Pope and the other lawful pastors of the Church.
Q: CAN THERE NOT BE SEVERAL CHURCHES?
A: No, there cannot be more than one Church; for as there is but one God, one Faith and one Baptism, there is and can be but one true Church.
Q: WHY DO YOU SAY THAT THE ROMAN PONTIFF IS SUPREME PASTOR OF THE CHURCH?
A: Because Jesus Christ said to St. Peter, the first Pope: “Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church, and I will give to thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatsoever thee shalt bind on earth shall be bound also in Heaven, and whatsoever the shallot loose on earth shall be loosed also in Heaven.” And again: “Feed My lambs, feed My sheep.”
Q: THE MANY SOCIETIES OF PERSONS WHO ARE BAPTIZED BUT WHO DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE ROMAN PONTIFF AS THEIR HEAD DO NOT, THEN, BELONG TO THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST?
A: No, those who do not acknowledge the Roman Pontiff as their Head do not belong to the Church of Jesus Christ.
Q: HOW CAN THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST BE DISTINGUISHED FROM THE NUMEROUS SOCIETIES OR SECTS FOUNDED BY MEN, AND CALLING THEMSELVES CHRISTIAN?
A: From the numerous societies or sects founded by men and calling themselves Christian, the Church of Jesus Christ is easily distinguished by four marks: She is One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic.
Q: WHY IS THE CHURCH CALLED ONE?
A: The true Church is called One, because her children of all ages and places are united together in the same faith, in the same worship, in the same law; and in participation of the same Sacraments, under the same visible Head, the Roman Pontiff.
Q: WHY IS THE TRUE CHURCH CALLED HOLY?
A: The true church is called Holy because holy is her Invisible Head, Jesus Christ; holy are many of her members; holy are her faith, her laws, her Sacraments; and outside of her there is not and cannot be true holiness.
Q: WHY IS THE CHURCH CALLED CATHOLIC?
A: The true Church is called Catholic, or Universal, because she embraces the faithful of all times, of all places, of all ages and conditions; and all peoples are called to belong to her.
Q: WHY IS THE CHURCH ALSO CALLED APOSTOLIC?
A: The true Church is also called Apostolic because she goes back without a break to the Apostles; because she believes and teaches all that the Apostles believed and taught; and because she is guided and governed by their lawful successors.
Q: AND WHY IS THE TRUE CHURCH CALLED ROMAN?
A: The true Church is called Roman, because the four marks of Unity, Sanctity, Catholicity and Apostolicity are found in that Church alone which acknowledges as Head the Bishop of Rome, the Successor of St. Peter.
Q: CAN ONE BE SAVED OUTSIDE THE CATHOLIC, APOSTOLIC AND ROMAN CHURCH?
A: No, no one can be saved outside the Catholic, Apostolic Roman Church, just as no one could be saved from the flood outside the Ark of Noah, which was a figure of the Church.
