[Dr. Eckleburg]

the teaching authority in the Church is vested in the local bishop or more precisely the ordinary (some belong to orders that do not follow the territorial jurisdiction). One can also rely onthe publications sanctioned by the Church, e.g. consiliar documents and the Catechism.

And how do you know that the "local bishop" and the "publications" of the Romanist church are "infallible in their teaching on faith and morals?"

Then that means that the approval for that book on Mary that Quix posted IS official Church position and doctrine.

How many times have we seen some Catholic official go off half cocked and the FRoman Catholics shriek that that does NOT represent official Church doctrine cause it’s not from the Vatican? Yet here we have another FRoman Catholic saying that it is and not only that, but it’s infallible.

The bishops are consecrated by the Pope, and one can seek their advice regarding the publications. Also, Catohlic method supposes harmony with the scripture and the historical continuing teaching of the Church, which is a matter of record.
