Extraordinary Magisterium
i. By the Pope Speaking
ex cathedra
ii. By an Ecumenical
Council
b. Taught by Ordinary
and Universal Magisterium
II. Definitive
Catholic Doctrine (de fide tenenda)
a. Defined by Extraordinary
Magisterium
i. By the Pope
speaking ex cathedra
ii. By an Ecumenical
Council
b. Taught by Ordinary
and Universal Magisterium
III. Authentic
