I agree with that. Why else would they be there if not to fill the spiritual needs in their lives.
But it is explained to me that the Catholic Church brooks absolutely no dispute on this point; they are Gods representation of truth on earth as expressed in the Holy Trinity. To say they are somehow not the sole and only keepers of the truth or that they must somehow find the truth is a big no-no in their Church.
Just like the wafer is not a wafer; it is the body of Christ. It doesn't represent Christ or act as a substitute for Christ; that wafer is the body of Christ. I found that one out the hard way and took a nice crack in the shoulder from my wife as well as some rather sharp words from the Priest for forgetting that and pocketing the wafer. I thought the man was having a coronary the way he hissed at me in front of God and everybody. " Surrender the Host" he yelled. "Thats the Body of Christ."
You don't mis-interpret that twice.
