you will have to find a theological error in the Catechism or in other de fide statements of the Magisterium

No, I don't.

If the organization is "inerrant" it would come out in the day to day practice. Doctrine impact practice.

But since you want an example, if the organization has a 2000 year track record of inerrant practice we wouldn't see controversial swings in doctrine, to wit Vatican II.

The Church is inerrant in her theological teaching in faith and morals. There is no broad “inerrant institution” claim.

Vatican II was controversial, but it did not produce any “swings in doctrine”. It is often described as pastoral council, that had to do with the role of the laity and liturgical reform.

INDEED.

However, never fear, they have more than enough rubber to stretch over all the holes, rot, fallen fantasies etc.
