Excellent work, yoseph. 👍 This quote from the Holy Father would be a nice addition:
. . .the Risen One confers upon them, with the effusion of the Spirit, the power to forgive sins. Thus, the Twelve Apostles are the most evident sign of Jesus’ will regarding the existence and mission of his Church, the guarantee that between Christ and the Church there is no opposition: despite the sins of the people who make up the Church, they are inseparable. Therefore, a slogan that was popular some years back, ‘Jesus yes, Church no,’ is totally inconceivable with the intention of Christ. This individualistically chosen Jesus is an imaginary Jesus.

We cannot have Jesus without the reality he created and in which he communicates himself. Between the Son of God-made-flesh and his Church there is a profound, unbreakable and mysterious continuity by which Christ is present today in his people, The Apostles, Benedict XVI, pp12-13.
