WHY did he meet with them and bless them? Didn't he pray about the missing girl and her parents? Where was devine inspiration? Why would god allow him to be made a fool of? How can I now believe anything the pope decrees to be truth? It is all so confusing!!

They haven't been found guilty. They may not be.
But I personally (as a non-Catholic) don't have a problem with the Pope being fooled.

The Bishop of Rome claims infallibility under certain circumstances. I doubt the McCann case falls within those circumstances, and I'm not Catholic.
Yeah we heard the same thing in Australia in 1980 - 81 about Azaria Chamberlain, supposed to have been killed by her mother while on holiday at Ayer's Rock. I didn't believe it then, whatever the hysterical media and "I can just tell she's guilty/something fishy going on" crowd said.
Mrs Chamberlain did jail time then new evidence emerged. Seems she could not have done it after all. Got out of jail. Where were the "I can just tell she's guilty/can just tell there's something fishy going on" crowd then? Eh?
Mrs. McCann is an official suspect. OK they found some blood. It's a hotel room for heaven's sake. If there were no blood it would be a miracle or a brand new hotel. I hope to heaven they don't mess up the blood tests like the Northern Territory forensics did in the Chamberlain case and then "lose" the specimens.
The whole thing is looking more and more like the Chamberlain case and there was even a religious angle.

The pope is just a person to.He is with sin.
The Bible says no man is without sin. He can pray for people. But he can't perform miracles. I can also pray for people. The pope can only get to heaven the same way the rest of us can. By believing in our hearts and confessing with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and by asking for forgiveness for our sins. The blood of Jesus saves us not the pope, or anyone else for that matter. It doesn't matter how many good deeds we do. Otherwise why did Jesus die on the cross.

The infability of the Pope (infability ex cathedra) applies only to official faith matters. That infability applies to any pope even if the Pope is still a man, Catholics believe that God himself give Peter the leadership of his church, and the Pope are the person who today assumes Peter mission.
If the Pope opines about something like how to drive, favorite football clubs or anything unrelated to faith (the faith of catholics that is, who is all about moral issues, not what anybody can understand of faith) the infability does not apply.

The pope isn't perfect
The pope was NOT chosen by God to lead humanity, he was chosen by bishops to lead the catholic church. (very much the same way that a CEO runs a business, and all the followers are his little worker bees.)

He's not all that right about the Bible...
To claim thatJesus is God, somehow in another form [ trinity] when scriptures such as John 5;19 and Matthew 24;36 clearly state that Jesus is not equal to his father, let alone actually BE him.
