I really wish God never gave us free will. Or at least I wish I had just enough free will to ask God to take it away from me.

You do. I don't think He will.

Easy. Simply submit your will and intellect to the magesterium.

I believe this and the question of "Mary giving consent" goes to the foreknowledge of God.

Rom. 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
