1. God did not replace Israel with the Roman Catholic Church. Even if a teaching magisterium was given to ancient Israel, it cannot be used to support Roman Catholic claims.
Any argument that the Roman Catholic Church has superseded or replaced Israel commits the fallacy of special pleading, and is therefore invalid. If God can replace Israel with the church, he can replace the church with someone else. There are thousands of organizations that claim to be the God-elected official teaching magisterium. Islam and Mormonism come to mind. On what consistent basis can the Roman Catholic believe that God either replaced Israel with the church or ended his covenant with Israel only to start a new one with the church, while still maintaining that God hasn't pulled the same stunt on the church, replacing Rome with someone else? Perhaps Martin Luther or John Calvin inadvertently received the divine authority?
2. If God did give the Sanhedrin (and the Rabbis after them) an infallible teaching magisterium, then Jesus was a fraud.
And the high priest tore his garments and said, "What further witnesses do we need? You have heard his blasphemy. What is your decision?" And they all condemned him as deserving death.
-Mark 14:63-64
Every single member of the Sanhedrin condemned Jesus, as did the Pharisees, as did the Rabbis after them. In fact, one aspect that the Jewish traditions have been united on is their universal rejection of Jesus' divinity. Only the Sanhedrin had any claim to be the authoritative, divinely guarded Jewish teaching magisterium. And if God granted them such a magisterium as part of the covenant, then it is impossible for Jesus to be who he claimed to be.
Rabbinic tradition clearly states that Messiah will turn Israel into a theocracy under Talmudic Law, which is based on the traditions of the Pharisees. The Pharisees were a majoritarian group, as referenced in the story of the Akhnai Oven. According to Rabbinic Tradition, all Jews were to follow the majority ruling of the Pharisees, a ruling that even God himself could not veto. The Rabbis claim that this tradition of Oral Law came from God on Sinai.
3. If God did not give an infallible teaching magisterium to the Sanhedrin, then a fortiori he did not give it to the Roman Catholic Church either, because the Bible gives far more support for the authority of the Sanhedrin than it gives for the authority of the Roman Catholic Church.
The Rabbis draw Biblical support for their authority from Deuteronomy 17:8-11
"If any case arises requiring decision between one kind of homicide and another, one kind of legal right and another, or one kind of assault and another, any case within your towns that is too difficult for you, then you shall arise and go up to the place that the Lord your God will choose. And you shall come to the Levitical priests and to the judge who is in office in those days, and you shall consult them, and they shall declare to you the decision. Then you shall do according to what they declare to you from that place that the Lord will choose. And you shall be careful to do according to all that they direct you. According to the instructions that they give you, and according to the decision which they pronounce to you, you shall do. You shall not turn aside from the verdict that they declare to you, either to the right hand or to the left."
