“That the pope spoke ex cathedra on this indicates its importance.”

Actually, no, it doesn’t. People might assume that, but it doesn’t. Again, being important to one man - the Pope - does not mean it is “major dogma of the Catholic Church.”

Sooooo....to be sure we understand......the pope has spoken ex-cathedra, from the chair of peter, we can count these on one hand, this is now official dogma of the catholic church, all have to believe this....and you say: "being important to one man - the Pope - does not mean it is “major dogma of the Catholic Church.”. "

So we can just dismiss these as irrelevant teachings??

I wonder what other catholics have to say about this?
