The Catholic Church IS the pope and the magisterium.

...as reported ignorantly by anti-Catholics. Forgive me, but I'll get my information about Catholicism from sources which haven't declared an avowed hatred for it. Thanks, anyway.

Yep... right on cue. The amateur crowd of anti-Catholics has arrived, complete with multi-colored quotes, mutual high-fives, immense cut-and-paste quotes (probably from the same hard drive on which they saved them as a text file in the later 1990’s), tired canards, hackneyed snarks, sexual innuendo (I really do wonder about that—maybe Ted Cruz could include anti-Catholics along with liberals, in pointing out their obsession with it), broken-record and logic-free responses to any challenges, and so very much more.

Sad.

Here ya go!

Canon 752: “While the assent of faith is not required, a religious submission of intellect and will is to be given to any doctrine which either the Supreme Pontiff or the College of Bishops, exercising their authentic Magisterium, declare upon a matter of faith or morals, even though they do not intend to proclaim that doctrine by definitive act. Christ's faithful are therefore to ensure that they avoid whatever does not accord with that doctrine.”

Canon 753: “While not infallible in their teaching, [Catholic bishops] are the authentic instructors and teachers of the faith for Christ's faithful entrusted to their care. The faithful are bound to adhere, with a religious submission of mind, to this authentic Magisterium of their Bishops.
