The magisterium is the successor of St. Peter (Benedict XVI) and all those bishops in communion with him. (See CCC 85-86.) Their authority comes from those from whom they received sacramental orders. And they in turn, received their authority from the bishops before them, and so on, all the way back to the Apostles, who were authorized and commissioned by Christ Himself. I myself am under the authority of Archbishop Burke.
