The magisterium
The Bishops of the Church, especially when making decisions as a Synod or Church Council. Bishops refers to any rank within that Order, such as Bishops, Archbishops, Metropolitans and Patriarchs. They are all Bishops. The Magisterium is the teaching authority of the Church. It is the pope working in concert with all the bishops and under the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
If you are referring to the Protestant Reformation, the only things that changed were the suppression of some of the wrongs that priests (and bishops) were practicing and that the reformers were complaining about. The official teaching of the Church remained the same.
.Catholic AnswerWrong question, the question should be how is the official teaching of Our Blessed Lord passed on, and the answer would be the Catholic Church. .The Church accomplishes this in Her preaching and teaching. For instance, examples of Her preaching and teaching include writings: this would include the Bible, which is the earliest, canonized example of Her teaching, Papal Encyclicals, Catechisms, etc. These would all be infallible teachings since any teaching from the Holy Father, or the Bishops in union with the Holy Father are guaranteed infallible, thus the Bible is guaranteed as the actual Word of God because of the Catholic Church's imprimatur on it..Besides official writings, there would be the ordinary teaching office of the Magisterium, in union with the Holy Father. The ordinary Magisterium in union with the Holy Father is THE way in which the official teaching of Our Blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, has been passed on from day one until today.
The Magisterium is the teaching authority of the Catholic Church, primarily consisting of the Pope and the bishops in communion with him. This body is responsible for interpreting and preserving the teachings of the Church, ensuring fidelity to Scripture and Tradition. The Magisterium plays a crucial role in guiding the faithful on matters of doctrine and moral teachings.
