16. To whom is given the task of authentically interpreting the deposit of faith?The task of giving an authentic interpretation of the deposit of faith has been entrusted to the living teaching office of the Church alone, that is, to the successor of Peter, the Bishop of Rome, and to the bishops in communion with him.

This authority of the Magisterium also extends to those truths necessarily connected with Revelation.
