Correction: Several people in the Vatican (for example Cardinal Ratzinger) do think that the pope did speak "ex cathedra" when he published Humanae Vitae. The same thing for the recent statement about non-access for women to the ordination. I don't know the references anymore, but an article written by the Cardinal himself was published in the Osservatore Romano... Stefaan. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
