Do you agree with this?: Infallibility is not limited to excathadra pronouncements. .
Do you agree with this?: Everything that is infallible does not necessarily have a dogmatic definition.
You think to trap me, you devil QVD, by then turning the tables and telling me I reject the definition.
However, this definition refers to the
charism of infallibility by which the Pope, by a special assistance from the Holy Ghost, which is both positive and negative assistance, that assistance which was promised to him by Our Lord in the person of Peter, is infallible when defining questions of faith and morals. Outside of that, infallibility is only guaranteed by Tradition, that which is held everywhere and by all in space and in time. The pope does not enjoy this assistance outside of the Extraordinary Magisterium,
"The Pope is infallible when he speaks
ex cathedra. (De fide.)... the Vatican Council defined: 'The Roman Pontiff, when he speaks
ex cathedra - that is, when in discharge of the office of Pastor and Doctor of all Christians, by virtue of his supreme apostolic authority, he defines a doctrine regarding Faith or Morals to be held by the Universal Church - by the Divine assistance promised to him in Blessed Peter, is possessed of that infallibility with which the Divine Redeemer willed that His Church should be endowed in defining doctrine regarding Faith or Morals; and therefore such definitions of the Roman Pontiff are irreformable of themselves, and not in virtue of the consent of the Church. D 1839 cf D 466, 694, 1833-35'. For the proper understanding of the dogma the following points must be noted:... (b) the
object of his infallibility is his teaching concerning Faith and Morals... (c) The condition of the Infallibility is that the Pope speaks
ex cathedra. For this is required: a. That he speak as pastor and teacher of all the faithful with the full weight of his supreme apostolic authority; if he speaks as private theologian or as the bishop of his diocese, he is not infallible; b. That he have the intention of deciding finally a teaching of Faith or Morals, so that it is to be held by all the faithful. Without this intention, which must be made clear in the formulation, or by the circuмstances, a decision
ex cathedra is not complete. Most of the doctrinal expressions made by the Popes in their encyclicals are not decisions
ex cathedra. d. The source of his assistance is the supernatural assistance of the Holy Ghost, Who protects the supreme teacher of the Church from error... The Holy Ghost preserves the bearer of the supreme teaching office of the Church from a false decision (negative assistance) and leads him, where necessary, by external and internal grace to the right knowledge and correct statement of the truth (positive assistance)... cf D 1836" -
