Can I quote Magisterium AI in my work?

Guidance on citing answers in homilies, articles, books, and classrooms.

May 11, 2026

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.

When in doubt

For commercial partnerships, large-scale publishing, or anything that involves redistributing Magisterium AI output at scale, contact us and choose Other or Partner.
