“When the Roman Pontiff speaks EX CATHEDRA, [he exercises] his office as shepherd and teacher of all Christians...through the divine assistance promised him in the person of Saint Peter, he enjoys that infallibility with which the divine Redeemer wished to [give] his Church in defining a doctrine on faith and morals.” – Vatican Council I: DS 3074
