The Church's Teaching Authority

The podcast discusses the authority of the Church to teach infallibly. It explains that Christ established a teaching authority within the Church, known as the Magisterium, and this authority was passed down to the Pope and the bishops. The Church's teaching authority is rooted in Christ's commission to his Apostles and his promise to be with the Church until the end of time. This authority allows the Church to teach with certainty and infallibility, preserving the purity of the faith.
