Why would the Holy Spirit lead the Church into error on a dogmatic level?

The Holy Spirit wouldn't, but man has been known to disregard the HS to his own glory and profit.

So the choice is between either one divinely protected from dogmatic error Church or simply man and no way of knowing Truth for sure.

I'll pick #1. Scripture calls the Church the pillar of Truth. And it is unseemly for God to go through all this trouble of gathering followers only to have them be rudderless when it comes to matters of Truth.

I will pick scripture over anything else, including the church and tradition.
