The church is not divine. It worships and serves the divine.
The church is the people. People are human but divine because we are created in God's image. Actually, The Church is both visible and spiritual, a hierarchical society and the Mystical Body of Christ. She is one, yet formed of two components, human and divine. That is her mystery, which only faith can accept. If anyone has questions about the catholic church, read the Cathecism of the Catholic Church

The Catholic Church rejected adoptionism, a belief that Jesus was merely a human adopted by God rather than inherently divine. This heresy was condemned in the early Church, particularly at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, which affirmed the doctrine of the Trinity and the divine nature of Christ. Church leaders emphasized that Jesus was both fully divine and fully human, countering adoptionist views by affirming the belief in His pre-existence and consubstantiality with the Father. The Church's response reinforced the central tenets of Christology that define orthodox Christian belief.
This is done to represent the two natures of Christ - divine and human. During early church history, there were two heresies that arose. One claiming that Jesus was fully divine masquerading as a human, and another claiming that He was fully human and not really divine. Both heresies were fought by the Church and an official ruling was made that stated that Jesus was both human and divine. This teaching has been carried forth in art by Jesus holding up two fingers to symbolize his two natures. It is also a traditional sign of blessing. It is sacred Roman blessing Jesus=Caesar. Caesar was also divine.
