Is the Magisterium out of touch with the lives of modern Catholics?
No, modern Catholics are out of touch with the Magisterium, primarily because many priests and bishops refuse to teach Catholic doctrine and prefer instead to preach wishy washy meaningless fluff. They do not want to offend anyone by preaching the truth so they choose to preach nothing - political correctness run amuck.

Many have no idea what the Church's teachings are on abortion, stem cell research, IVF, same sex marriage, etc.

Whoever rejects you rejects Me. And whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me."from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 19942034 The Roman Pontiff and the bishops are "authentic teachers, that is, teachers endowed with the authority of Christ, who preach the faith to the people entrusted to them, the faith to be believed and put into practice."

The two kinds of magisterium in the Catholic Church are the ordinary magisterium and the extraordinary magisterium.

Yes, the Magisterium interprets the Bible. That assures that all Catholics, everywhere, are receiving the same message. What happens when everyone is allowed to interpret scriptures on their own? There are over 30,000 Protestant denominations, each one with a different interpretation and each one saying that their interpretation is the correct one. The New Testament was written by Catholics so the interpretation by the Church is in following with Church tradition. Martin Luther rewrote the Bible so as to better reflect his own interpretation. Those books he disagreed with he threw out of the Bible completely.
