 | | According to Catholic doctrine and dogma, the Magisterium is the only (earthly) authority qualified to teach or interpret the truths of the Faith infallibly. | | | Magisterium can refer to either the ordinary magisterium, which is the consensus of the Faith which has been consistently taught and believed throughout the Church's two-thousand year history. | | | "The task of interpreting the Word of God authentically has been entrusted solely to the Magisterium of the Church, that is, to the Pope and to the bishops in communion with him."

| | THE MAGISTERIUM |
| | The common root from which both the Magisterium and the theologians draw their teaching is divine revelation, a revelation given by the Holy Spirit to the Catholic Church, and preserved by the Holy Spirit in that Church. | | | The vigilance over faith will most often be exercised by positive teaching of truth, with insistence on the traditional and accepted understanding of the meaning given to dogma and moral precept in the community of the Church, under the leadership especially of the Holy See. | | | Their validity rests upon the witness given by the Catholic Church that a particular dogma is a part of the integral faith; that witness is given by sacred tradition, by the biblical texts correctly read in the community of the Church under the guidance of the Magisterium. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Tradition and Living Magisterium |
| | Properly speaking, this magisterium is a teaching authority; it not only presents the truth, but it has the right to impose it, since its power is the very power given by God to Christ and by Christ to His Church. | | | This was also the way of the faithful in their studies and discussions; but with pagans and unbelievers it was necessary to begin with presenting the Bible and guaranteeing its authority -- the Christian doctrine concerning the Bible had to be explained to the faithful themselves, and the guarantee of this doctrine demonstrated. | | | The relation of Scripture to the living magisterium, and of the living magisterium to Scripture. |

| | Journeyman: The Two-Fold Magisterium |
| | I had thought of arguing for a three-fold Magisterium of hierarchy, theologians and faithful, noting that a church ruled by the masses will institutionalize pedestrian theology and worship, a church ruled by theologians will endlessly debate the arcane and the irrelevant, and a church ruled by the hierarchy will be distracted by power. | | | This is a far cry from sola ecclesia and the “Magisterium of the moment.” Dulles explicitly conditions the infallibility of the pope on (a) agreement with Scripture and Tradition, (b) agreement with the present faith of the church, (c) agreement with the universal episcopate, and (d) sufficient investigation. | | | Sometimes it's also called “the Magisterium of the Moment.” While lip service may be paid to the authority of Scripture and Tradition, Scripture can't be an authority in the sola ecclesia church because the church interprets Scripture, and Tradition can't be an authority because the church interprets Tradition. |

| | The Catholic Magisterium |
| | The Magisterium is constituted by the bishops of the universal Church under the primacy of the chief bishop, the Bishop of Rome. | | | "Decisions of the Magisterium in matters of discipline, even though they do not enjoy the charism of infallibility, are not therefore devoid of divine assistance, but call for the adherence of Christ's faithful" (no. 17). | | | Apart from teaching doctrine as such, "the Magisterium can intervene in disputed questions that involve, in addition to fixed principles, certain conjectural and contingent elements," according to Donum Veritatis (on the ecclesial vocation of the theologian), a 1990 document from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. |

| | The meaning of the Church's Magisterium must be considered in relation to the truth of Christian doctrine. | | | The Church is the theologian's vital environment, and in order to remain faithful to its identity, theology cannot fail to participate deeply in the fabric of the Church's life, doctrine, holiness and prayer. | | | The unity of the faith, for the sake of which the Magisterium has authority and ultimate deliberative power in interpreting the Word of God written and handed down, is a primary value, which, if respected, does not involve the stifling of theological research, but provides it with a stable foundation. |

| | The Magisterium and the creative liberty of the theologian are seen as tending to be opposed, and the "charitable duty" of the theologian would be that of seeking to defend the faithful from the exorbitant claims of the Magisterium through the work of distinctions, delimitations, and hermeneutics. | | | The emphasis on the fact that the so-called secondary object of the Magisterium cannot exact an irrevocable assent of faith, in as much as it is not a matter of truth divinely revealed, obscures the necessity of an acceptance and a firm reception of that which nevertheless is proposed in a definitive manner. | | | Indeed, it is rightly observed that "this ordinary Magisterium is the normal form of the infallibility of the Church" (J. Ratzinger, Il nuovo popolo di Dio [Brescia,197l], 180). |

| | The source of divine revelation which the Magisterium draws on in its teaching is twofold: Scripture and Tradition. | | | On the contrary, they tend almost by reflex to tax the Church severely as both wrong and arrogant in pretending that she speaks for God — yet this was, after all, the mission that was given to her by Christ, according to the unanimous testimony of the New Testament. | | | When Vatican Council II taught that the Catholic Church was the teacher of truth, and that the agency of her teaching of truth to whom the special assistance of the Holy Spirit was given, was nothing else but the sacred hierarchy of bishops with and under the pope, Vatican II taught truly. |

| | However, if "a religious submission of mind and will" is also due the ordinary magisterium, then we must conclude that, in matters of faith and morals at least, there is a strong case for development in the doctrine of infallibility by its application to the ordinary Magisterium of the Church. | | | Surely it extends to the Church's infallibility to know what is and what is not a matter of faith; otherwise, the doctrine is an absurdity. | | | On the one hand, it is argued that the Church has never claimed it made an infallible pronouncement in the Galileo case (the pope was not speaking infallibly). |

| | He wrote that the teachings of the ordinary universal magisterium, although taught infallibly, could not be considered as dogmas of Catholic faith. | | | Finally we may ask whether this move to assert definitive doctrines taught by the ordinary universal magisterium reflects a return to a prepositional model of revelation preoccupied with the enumeration of discrete prepositional truths and the protracted elucidation of their logical and historical relationships one to one another. | | | When a truth of divine revelation is taught infallibly by the ordinary universal magisterium, what results is, in effect, a “non-defined dogma.” The fact that such dogmatic teachings are “definitive” yet “non-defined” invites the question whether such dogmas are to be granted the same status as “defined” dogmas. |

| | Extraordinary Magisterium refers to a special exercise of their teaching office by either the Pope and bishops together, or the Pope alone, in which a definitive judgment is given. | | | The term ordinary universal Magisterium means an exercise of the Church's teaching office where there is complete agreement, or fairly close to complete agreement, among the Catholic Bishops of the world that a particular doctrine is certainly true, but without a solemn definition. | | | But once we realize that the Pope and bishops comprise the Church's true Magisterium, for the Holy Spirit guides them in a way he does not guide anyone else, we see that theologians who classify themselves as part of a parallel magisterium are setting themselves up in opposition to the Holy Spirit. |
