Contrary to the stereotype that Catholics think that everything that the pope says is infallible (or that the pope is impeccable, unable to sin, which is false), dogmatic definitions by popes are in fact very rare. Among them are the definition by Pope Pius IX in 1854 concerning the Immaculate Conception of Mary , the Mother Of Jesus , and the definition by Pope Pius XII in 1950 concerning the Assumption Of Mary . INFALLIBILITY IN NON-CATHOLIC CHURCHES See Infallibility Of The Church for an account of the way in which not only Catholic, but also Eastern Orthodox and other churches understand this concept.
