Tragic typo time.
The Catholic Church teaches that the Pope is infallible (not inflammable) at closely defined times.
The Pope is only infallible when he, in union with the body of bishops, solemnly teaches that a doctrine as true. This is called "ex cathedra", literally meaning in Latin "from the chair".
This comes from the words of Jesus to Peter (the first Pope) and the Apostles (the first bishops), "Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven" (Matthew 18:18) and "He who hears you hears me" (Luke 10:16).
At all other times the Pope can be just as wrong or sinful as you and me and be in need of forgiveness.

With love in Christ.

The answer is no. Are you a mentally challenged person? The correct word is infallible not inflammable. He also sins just like you and me that's why he goes to confession every week. His infallibility is limited to matters concerning faith and morals and that authority is exercised in consultation with the Church magisterium.

And why does inflammable mean the same thing as flammable. What's up with that? Huh, Huh?

lol. It's infallible and only in his spiritual teachings. Other than that he's just like me and you. He can go to Hell too just like me and you.

Very funny. Of course the correct term is "infallible", which only has to do with matters of faith and morals. He is not impeccable.

His dress is fireproof, and his fish hat floats.
