'''Magisterium''' is a Latin term (from ''magister'' "teacher") designating the official teaching office of the authorized teaching authority of the catholic orthodox [[Christianity|Christian church]]. According to the [[Catholic Church]] the only correct and valid understanding of the revealed [[Christianity|Christian]] [[doctrine]] of [[salvation]] and the [[Bible]] can only be obtained by taking account of both Sacred Scripture and Apostolic Tradition as interpreted by the authentic catholic Christian Magisterium under the promised guidance of [[God]] the [[Holy Spirit]]. The teachings of the Magisterium are magisterial teachings, most often set forth in magisterial documents, such as the [[Second Vatican Council|Documents of Vatican II]], or the promulgated teachings of [[ecumenical council]]s.
