This document is about the danger of heretical authorities and the false election of a Pope. "Cum ex Apostolatus Officio" is an Apostolic Constitution of Pope Paul IV, 15th February 1559, decreeing that only Catholics can hold the Chair of Peter or any other office within the Mystical Body of Christ.
