The Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, as such, it is here to bring Christ to the people, to proclaim His Good News, and to bring people to Christ. The Catholic Church does not "assure" people of their "power", it just does its job and the evidence is in the lives of those who take it seriously, they are called saints, and their stories are there for all of us. Those of us who were alive in the twentieth century had the great fortune to live with and know several great saints, like St. Padre Pio, Blessed John XXIII, Blessed John Paul II, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, etc. The Catholic Church doesn't have to do anything, God does it.
