 “why would you go through a church or fallible (even if well-intentioned) human being to access God?” Accessing God and gathering among fellow believers are two very different things. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that @Jason Hodlers reasoning  is to shed some light on the deception of Catholicism? The truth is that Christ Jesus gives us access to God the Father. We don’t need a fallible pope, priest etc. to achieve that. Good insights from both parties nonetheless.

 I am not Catholic and I think the current pope is a little "a" antichrist, not even a Christian.  I don't know what you are arguing against.  You are arguing against a point I didn't make and a belief I don't have.

I know my relationship with Jesus and my going to heaven has nothing to do with `another person or any human organization.  That doesn't mean that we should "forsake assembling together" or that attending church is a bad thing.  It does mean we need to know our Bible well so we can wisely judge what we are told by people.
