Besides ex cathedra statements, is the Pope considered infallible by Roman Catholics whenever he speaks on faith and morals?

Gnomon

No. The pope is not considered infallible, except when he is speaking "ex cathedra". Ex Cathedra (Latin: from the chair), the Chair of Peter. When a Pope speaks from the chair (cathedra) of authority as the visible head of all Christians, his teaching is infallibly Christ’s true teaching. http://www.secondexodus.com/html/catholicdefinitions/excathedra.htm [Edited to add reference - McG] Jan 30 04, 5:00 PM
