All right! How do you explain the forms:
ex cathedra

Do you mean why they use "ex" when there's a consonant in front? "e" before a vowel, and "ex" before a consonant is more of a guideline than a hard and fast rule. Even in classical Latin, you'll see "ex" in front of consonants. But you'll never see "e" before a vowel. I should've been clearer, and I'm sorry about that.
As far as I know, except for "ex nihilo...," those are from Ecclesiastical Latin, and it's possible that "e" fell out of use. But that's just a guess, I don't know ("non ex professo" :-))
