You over-distinguish.

An office without an occupant is useless.  A teaching body without teachers is an abuse in terms.  The actual teachings which belong to the magisterium would be gnostic if they were never proposed by those teachers for belief. 

That is correct, it is the teaching office of the Church, but pope, bishops or priests etc. are not the magisterium.
Like the office pope has his office, that of the papacy, Magisterium has it's office, that of teaching. This is why Pope Leo XIII says: "If it (the magisterium, the teachings) could in any way be false, an evident contradiction follows; for then God Himself would be the author of error in man."

Dahh! Can't edit in this forum.
This is why the Magisterium is infallible - always and everywhere. Because, as Pope Leo XIII states, it, the Magisterium came from Christ, He instituted it. The Magisterium was not ordained, consecrated, elected or appointed. The Magisterium is teachings, not people.

The deposit of faith is what Christ handed to the magisterium.

The magisterium tells us what is and isn't in the deposit of faith.  The magisterium is "people."  It is the teaching office of the Church, which is composed of all legitimate pastors.

Not so, it is not people - read what Pope Leo said - I posted it. He Instituted the Magisterium. "Christ instituted in the Church a living, authoritative and permanent Magisterium."

The Magisterium was not ordained, consecrated, elected or appointed, IT was instituted by Christ. The magisterium is teachings - not the hierarchy, not the pope and not even people.

People are confused on this because being taught error, they think the magisterium being infallible, which it is, is the pope, or the bishops in union with the pope, or all the bishops dispersed throughout the world teaching the same wrong thing. It is nothing of the sort.

The magisterium as all the bishops and pope (living, authoritative, and permanently instituted [c.f. Vatican I]) is exactly what he's talking about, and you can pick up any theology manual at random and see the same thing.

Stay away from theology manuals and comprehend what the pope wrote - the Magisterium is instituted by Christ, as such it is living, authoritative and permanently infallible. It is NOT bishops and popes. They were not instituted by Christ, they are not permanently infallible, they are people. Only Christ (and Our Lady) were impeccable -  why do I need to repeat something so basic?

Popes and bishops are human, they are elected, consecrated and/or appointed, the Magisterium is infallible teachings, are instituted in the Church by Christ.

The magisterium is infallible not because it is impersonal, but because Christ guaranteed that when certain people teach under certain conditions, they are protected from teaching error.  

You offer only more confusion, needlessly.

The Magisterium is infallible because it was instituted by Christ - that is what pope Leo correctly and literally said, the theology manuals you read should say that exact same thing or you're reading the wrong ones. The magisterium is guaranteed free from error because Christ instituted it. It's not complicated Mith - just read the blurb from pope Leo I posted.

Christ guaranteed ONLY the pope infallibility under certain conditions - read the decrees of the First Vatican Council. No one but the pope is guaranteed protection from the possibility of error - and then ONLY when teaching certain doctrines under certain conditions.

The view proposed by stubborn is not only theologically untenable, it is philosophically untenable.  The Catholic faith in its entirety is a series of propositions.  That we are aware that any of them even exist, never mind whether or not any of them are even true, is owed to the fact that Christ's institution of the apostolic college and the Petrine office (all living, authoratative, and permanent) propose them to us for belief.  But the propositions themselves are not living.  Only things with a soul live.  To say that a teaching lives is incoherent.  Teachers live, not teachings.

What view of mine? I am referencing Pope Leo XIII, literally. That the teaching, the magisterium, are living teachings means it is always tenable, always pertinent, always true, always there to enlighten. That which is permanent can only be living.
From the First Vatican Council, here's a new one for you - Divine Magisterium = Christ teachings:
Everybody knows that those heresies, condemned by the fathers of Trent, which rejected the divine magisterium of the church  and allowed religious questions to be a matter for the judgment of each individual, have gradually collapsed into a multiplicity of sects, either at variance or in agreement with one another; and by this means a good many people have had all faith in Christ destroyed.
Also
Wherefore, by divine and catholic faith all those things are to be believed which are contained in the word of God as found in scripture and tradition,and which are proposed by the church as matters to be believed as divinely revealed, whether by her solemn judgment or in her ordinary [magisterium] and universal magisterium.

I agree.

How you turn something so clear into something so complicated is definitely

So, yes then.
