Ex Cathedra -- are there other Christian groups besides Catholicism that use a similar tactic?

Accepted answer

Mormons do, in fact, have a somewhat similar doctrine, but more limited in scope: that the President of the Church cannot lead the church into apostasy with false doctrine.

The Lord will never permit me or any other man who stands as President of this Church to lead you astray. It is not in the programme. It is not in the mind of God. If I were to attempt that, the Lord would remove me out of my place, and so He will any other man who attempts to lead the children of men astray from the oracles of God and from their duty.

-- President Wilford Woodruff, October 1890 (emphasis added)
