'''''Ex cathedra''''' is from Latin, meaning "from the chair" (of the authorized and authoritative teacher).
In [[Catholicism]] the phrase refers to [[dogma]]tic teachings issued from the Chair of Peter, that is, from the successor of [[Saint Peter]], the '''[[pope]]'''. These teachings must meet certain specific criteria. Teachings defined as ''ex cathedra'' are specifically limited solely to papal teachings promulgated by the Holy Father when as shepherd of the whole Catholic Church and successor of Peter he officially teaches in his capacity as universal shepherd of the whole orthodox catholic [[Christianity|Christian Church]] and [[Vicar of Christ]] a doctrine on a matter of [[faith]] or [[morals]] and addresses it to the entire world. These universal teachings are defined by the [[Catholic Church]] as binding and infallible [[doctrine]]s. According to the [[Magisterium]] of the Catholic Church, those Catholics who do not subscribe to these dogmas are guilty of [[mortal sin]].
