That’s because that list does not exist. In the end people are left to apply the Vatican I definitions for themselves and decide for themselves which statements are ex-cathedra. I’m sure someone will say this is not the case to which I reply: well, if it’s not left up to me then show me the Vatican approved official list of ex-cathedra statements.
Most Catholics hold an opinion that there are only 2. However, other Catholics hold the opinion that there are more. This looks very much to me like the confusion within Protestantism where everyone just argues for their own opinion but nobody can know for sure…
Again, I’m sure someone will say this is not true to which I respond then please show me the Vatican approved list of them. I’m not really interested in anyone’s opinion about which do and don’t meet the Vatican I criteria because there are others that disagree. So, I’d like to know the list that the Vatican has approved… and it does not exist. I am Catholic but very recently realized that this is just like sola scriptura in Protestantism… everyone is left to form their own opinion and there is no objective, knowable list of these ex-cathedra statements.
