Ex ..., with authority of the Pope (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cathedra

(Other definitions for cathedra that I've seen before include "'Ex ..., with the authority of status or rank (8)'" , "Bishop's throne" , "episcopal dignity" , "seat" , "When Pope speaks ex . . . . . . . ., infallibility is claimed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
