Ex Cathedra is not the only time the Pope and the Church is infallible. Granted, the Pope is not infallible every time he speaks, but I wish Catholics would stop pushing this error.

Yes, there are other times, like the canonization of saints, but these are generally of a different quality and are not usually as relevant to the conversation. When people are arguing that we treat every word of the pope as if it were direct from God, as was done in the post, then it is the instance of the charism which is most germane.

I understand why you posted what you posted, but I think we should be accurate. To say something along the lines of only “ex cathedra” is misleading.
