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.

A truth of our faith that has been revealed by God in either our written Tradition (Scripture) or our unwritten Tradition that has been handed down through the ages and the Magisterium of the Church has declared as true and must be held by all Catholics.
