From the Latin magisterĭum , teaching is the position or profession of a teacher and the teaching that he exercises with his students. The concept is also used to name the group of teachers in a region (a city, a province, a country, etc.) and the degree of teacher obtained in a faculty .

Teaching in religion
In the field of religion , the magisterium is the moral and dogmatic authority exercised by the Pope and the bishops of the Catholic Church. Through the magisterium (or the Magisterium Ecclesiae , in Latin), ecclesiastical authorities have authority to teach the faithful.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CIC) maintains that the teaching profession exercises, in the name of Christ , the interpretation of the word of God . It is possible to distinguish between the solemn magisterium (which is infallible and irrevocable, and cannot be contradicted by the Pope or the councils) and the ordinary magisterium (it can be modified by the authorities).
Magisterium, on the other hand, is also the presumption or gravity affected when speaking or doing something : “The president declared with magisterium that the revolt had been quelled,” “With seriousness but without magisterium, the scientist explained the dangers.” that devastate the population after the new spill.”
