Definition: Magisterium

The Catholic Church holds that the pope, and the bishops in union with the pope, are commissioned to teach authoritatively on faith and morals in a way no other teacher in the Church can claim to do. Catholic teaching holds that the supreme doctrinal authority in the Roman Catholic Church is all the bishops together with and under the pope. In ordinary use in the contemporary Church, this teaching authority is called the magisterium. Aided by the Holy Spirit, the magisterium helps protect the Church from needless errors and wrong turns. There are two types of magisterial teachings: ordinary and extraordinary.
