Yeah, most of us are in the know about the account. In fact, some traditionalists use that passage to justify their stand. That is why the Pope is only infallible when he speaks "ex cathedra."

That is why the Pope is only infallible when he speaks "ex cathedra".

Since the question of the papacy and the primacy of Peter is of paramount importance in these troubled times,and since I have seen no one on Free Republic give a comprehensive and correct definition of what infallibillity and ex cathedra actually means,would you please tell me what you understand by the above statement. If you cannot would you point out the documents that you use to support the statement you made and please include documents written this past century and as close to today as possible. Thankyou.
