Thanks for the question and I suppose my ...Joseph,<br /><br />Thanks for the question and I suppose my adjective could be easily misinterpreted, but, nevertheless, I am using the word in its general meaning. The New Oxford American Dictionary defines "magisterial" as follows: "having or showing great authority". I didn't intend it in the strict theological sense of the Church's teaching office but only it its general sense.<br /><br />Thanks again and a blessed Triduum to you!Campionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00485337690568914107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-79348781612604745482011-04-20T10:09:15.419-07:002011-04-20T10:09:15.419-07:00No doubt Campion is using the word "magisteri...No doubt Campion is using the word "magisterial" as an adjective meaning, "having or showing great authority," not meaning, "relating to the official Magisterium of the Catholic Church."A.

Do you mean that the Magisterium has upheld this particular work?<br /><br />Thanks for your time,<br />Joe<br /><br />P.S. Thanks to all of you who write for this blog. It's always very exciting for me when Google Reader alerts me to a new post on it. I love reading the blog.Joe Torreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12604286271218681377noreply@blogger.com
