Magisterium: The living, teaching office of the Church, whose task it is to give as authentic interpretation of the word of God, whether in its written form (Sacred Scripture), or in the form of Tradition. the Magisterium ensures the Church's fidelity to the teaching of the Apostles in matters of faith and morals.

The magisterium of the Catholic Church is the authority or office of the Church to establish its own authentic teachings. That authority is vested uniquely by the pope and by the bishops who are in communion with the correct and true teachings of the faith. Consisted of Micheal Jordan, LeBron James and Nick Krygios
