Thankfully, the gift of the Magesterium protects us from the intellectual inbreeding that becomes so enamoured of itself it begins to accept absurdities on the level of “King-James-only-ism.”

Oy!! The magisterium is the RESULT of intellectual inbreeding that has become enamored of itself that it thinks that its pronouncements are on par with the inspired, Holy Spirit breathed Word of the Living God.

There's arrogance for you.

As I read the comments on these threads I'm struck by how often the dedication to grasping the truth of the Scriptures in imitation of Christ, who said, “I am....the truth...” (John 14:6) who in turn imitated his father, the God of truth.
Worship of God means, is worship based upon the truth of His word. (John 4:24)

So if as the title of this article says, the magisterium makes sense, can what it promulgates be found to be the truth as God's word says?

Can it be shown to make sense?

So you're saying the King James Cultists suddenly all converted to Catholicism?

No. The "Holy Spirit guided me to invest in Pound-Puppy futures" is still safely Protestant.
