And some believe you are instructed to submit your will and intellect to the Bishops, the Pope, and the Magisterium. Further, anything they say or write is a teaching. Now where did they get that idea? You seem to miss the term "faith and morals," these are specific areas, not EVERYTHING.
I'm curious, what MORAL teachings of the Catholic Church are you opposed to? I know that many Protestants have relaxed or even abandoned their opposition to divorce, contraception, abortion, ordination of women and homosexuality. So, which of the Church's moral teachings do YOU disagree with?

Did you, once again, cherrypick the few words you wanted to respond to. Read Canon 753 and tell me where I missed the term "faith and morals".
Canon 753 Although the bishops who are in communion with the head and members of the college, whether individually or joined together in conferences of bishops or in particular councils, do not possess infallibility in teaching, they are authentic teachers and instructors of the faith for the Christian faithful entrusted to their care; the Christian faithful are bound to adhere with religious submission of mind to the authentic magisterium of their bishops.

Grow up.
