Basically, The Pope is only infallible concerning the teachings of the Catholic church. In everything else he is a sinner.

The Pope was born into sin, thus he is subject to error...even with the help of the Holy Spirit....

As all men are.....

I think this says it well.

What Popes Can and Can’t Do

"Although it is very difficult for those who see Catholicism through political lenses to grasp this, popes are not like presidents or state governors, and doctrine is not like public policy. Which means that a change of papal “administration” does not—indeed cannot—mean a change of Catholic “views.” Doctrine, as the Church understands it, is not a matter of anyone’s “views,” but of settled understandings of the truth of things."

It speaks volumes that anyone could write an article claiming “papal infallibility” and only use one verse that isn’t about infallibility and then call it a day.
