The Church is an infallible institution of Faith. It is the extension of Heaven -- the Kingdom of Eternal Bliss.
When people enter the Church, they enter into a new realm of faith. A new spiritual dimension where the sacred norms, traditions and cultural practices are separate and distinct from the secular world. Noticeably, an "error" is committed every time we bring with us the cultural and behavioral biases of the outside world inside the Church. When we come to worship God in his holy place (e.g. the Church) we should wear the proper festal garment (Matthew 22:2-14) while leaving behind the garbage of sin and the sinful habits we incur in life, the human vices and the moral defects we love to cling to, the inordinate passions of the flesh and all its cravings; and with a contrite and humble heart surrendering ourselves and everything completely to God without reservations by absolute trust in God alone. Thus, we may be able to perfectly commune with God in celebrating the Holy Eucharist with the faithful and all His Saints -- glorifying and praising God in His Church for endless ages...
