The Supreme Court has the Constitution as a rule book for it's rulings. A Christian has only the Bible as their source for truth. The Magisterium uses the Bible and the writings and traditions of the church fathers as it's source of truth.
That puts the church fathers writings and traditions on par with the Bible and the words of Jesus.
The good news of Jesus Christ has nothing to do with whether Mary was a perpetual virgin and/or sinless. It only concerns Him dying for my sins and His Father extending that sacrifice to me.
Popes are elected by the Cardinals -- it is believed that they are directed by the Holy Spirit, just as the authors of the Gospel were directed by the Holy SPirit who was the real author. No one else can explain how in 1978 a Polish pope was elected who brought down communism. This was the hand of God behind the Cardinals.
There is no bases in scripture for any of this. I can show you verse after verse, chapter after chapter, book after book how God the Father created the Old Testament earthly priesthood and it's duties. You can only show me a couple of passage taken out of context to support the Church of the Magisterium.
The biggest falsehood is that the 12 were given special gifts or commissions that are not incumbent on every believer. Forgiving sins and binding and loosing pertain to you and I today. If we don't forgive/loose, sins against us by others when they ask, our sins against God cannot be forgiven/unbound against us when we ask Him.
The New Testament Church has no need for an earthly sanctuary now that the perfect sacrifice placed His priestly blood on the alter in heaven. Read Hebrews a couple times through. It explains this well.
