Do you think Catholics can just pick and choose for themselves (outside of the infallible dogmas) which Catholic teachings in the Catechism do and do not belong to the "authentic magiseterium"?

Ok, stop beating around the bush. If you think I'm in error on specific issues, then just say so and correct me!

I wasn't beating around the bush. My question was entirely sincere.

Here's the quotation from LG:

"This religious submission of mind and will must be shown in a special way to the authentic magisterium of the Roman Pontiff, even when he is not speaking ex cathedra; that is, it must be shown in such a way that his supreme magisterium is acknowledged with reverence, the judgments made by him are sincerely adhered to, according to his manifest mind and will."

Surely the Catholic Catechism approved by the Roman Pontiff counts as belonging to the "authentic magisterium of the Roman Pontiff".
