And if the magisterium overrules your local RCC...?

They won't...they've been around for 2,015 years...weren't bothered by the Romans, won't be bothered now.

...you do know that your church IS “the Romans”, don't you? A political organization (with its own ambassadors, money system, and country with whom other leaders sign concordats) seeking to rule the earth (the “kingdom of heaven on earth”) with the “vicar of Christ” (a Caesar) seated and ruling from this “kingdom's” empire?Your church is the ultimate in mixing politics and religion into an organization that its followers MUST follow from cradle to grave and beyond.
