CATECHISM points to the MAGISTERIum

“A catechism must present faithfully and organically the teaching of Sacred Scripture, the living Tradition of the Church, and the authentic Magisterium, as well as the spiritual heritage of the Fathers and saints of the Church.”
APOSTOLIC CONSTITUTION,
Fidei Depositum, no. 2.

• The way of beauty

  “If, as Saint Augustine says, we love only that which is beautiful, the incarnate Son, as the revelation of infinite beauty, is supremely lovable and draws us to himself with bonds of love.  So a formation in the via pulchritudinis (way of beauty) ought to be part of our effort to pass on the faith.  Each particular Church should encourage the use of the arts in evangelization, building on the treasures of the past but also drawing upon the wide variety of contemporary expressions so as to transmit the faith in a new ‘language of parables.’”
  Pope Francis – Evangelii Gaudium,(November 24, 2013)
  
  

• Cultivating an adult faith

  “We must do everything possible for catechetical renewal.To do this we need an ‘adult faith.’ .This does not mean, as has been understood in recent decades, a faith detached from the Magisterium of the Church. When we abandon the Magisterium, the result is dependency ‘on the opinions of the world, on the dictatorship of the communications media.’”
  Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI – Public Address, (February 23, 2012)
  
  

Service to the truth

“This is the context in which the conviction that theology needs the living and clarifying word of the Magisterium becomes fully understandable and perfectly consistent with the logic of the Christian faith. The meaning of the Church's Magisterium must be considered in relation to the truth of Christian doctrine.”
Saint John Paul II  Address to Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (November 24, 1995)

Life is quite another matter

“This happens. Some people seize on an idea, then bury it and guard it for the rest of their lives, defending it jealously without ever examining it again, without ever trying to check what has become of it after all the rain and wind and storms of events and changes. Those who travel in the stratosphere are in danger of not being prudent, when they are full of knowledge acquired purely from books.They can never get away from what is written, are always busy analyzing, pointing out subtleties, perpetually splitting hairs.
Life is quite another matter.”
Pope John Paul I ‘Letter to St Bernard’ in Illustrissimi (1976), p. 53

Interpreting moral natural law

“No member of the faithful could possibly deny that the Church is competent in her magisterium to interpret the natural moral law. It is in fact indisputable, as our predecessors have many times declared,  that Jesus Christ, when He communicated His divine power to Peter and the other Apostles and sent them to teach all nations His commandments,  constituted them as the authentic guardians and interpreters of the whole moral law, not only, that is, of the law of the Gospel but also of the natural law.”
Pope Paul VI – Humanae Vitae (July 25, 1968)

Enduring to the end of time

“In calling this vast assembly of bishops, the latest and humble successor to the Prince of the Apostles who is addressing you intended to assert once again the magisterium (teaching authority), which is unfailing and perdures until the end of time, in order that this magisterium, taking into account the errors, the requirements, and the opportunities of our time, might be presented in exceptional form to all men throughout the world.”
Saint John XXIII – Opening Address at Vatican II (October 11, 1962
