"Why go Prix Fixe, rather than buffet? Convenience, obviously."

Nothing could be further from the truth. The reliance on a Magisterium in matters of doctrine and faith is no different than the selection upon the best physicians over the choice of faith healers or utilizing a very good lawyer versus representing oneself in court.

A Magisterium definitely does not make things easier. It actually forces a deeper understanding when one finds themself confused by or unreconciled with the actual teachings of the Church. It forces a humbleness not found within the YOPIS crowd.

Chosing your Magisterium is no different that Mormons chosing their magisterium, their council of Elders or whatever they call it...

To claim your magisterium is equal to the best doctors is a scary thought...Unless you are referring to witch doctors...
