Magisterium AI is designed to help you learn and communicate Catholic teaching. You're encouraged to use the answers you receive in your own work — with some sensible caveats.
Quoting the AI's answers
- You can use the content of Magisterium AI answers in homilies, blog posts, essays, classroom materials, and presentations.
- Attribute the sources, not the AI. Use the citations in the answer to cite the original encyclical, catechism, or author directly.
- Don't attribute specific positions to Magisterium AI itself — the AI is a tool that surfaces and synthesizes sources; the teaching belongs to the Church and its authors.
Using citations correctly
- Click any citation in an answer to open the original document.
- Copy the citation text (e.g. Laudato Si' 137) from the References panel and use standard academic or pastoral citation form in your work.
- For Scripture, cite the book, chapter, and verse and, if helpful, the translation you used in the Bible Viewer (e.g. NRSV-CE).
Commercial use
- Using Magisterium AI as a tool in your work (e.g. drafting an article you'll publish) is fine.
- Reselling our answers or building a competing product on top of Magisterium AI output is not permitted. Our Terms of Service cover this in detail.
Trademarks and branding
- The Magisterium AI name and logo are trademarks. You can credit the product (e.g. "Prepared with help from Magisterium AI") without a formal agreement, but don't use our branding in a way that implies endorsement.
