I know what the magisterium is, thanks. That's why I specified that it's garbage while the Catholic Church itself is one of humanity's most corrupt organizations. It's always astonishing to me that anyone would defend it, but obviously a lot of people have and do, that's how it perpetuates itself. I do find it kind of hilarious when the indoctrinated try to "educate" me about the biggest and most powerful denomination of the biggest and most powerful religion on earth as if I've never heard if it though. So by all means continue.
