So IOW, the election of Francis to the papacy was under the direction of God Himself?

No, that has never been Church teaching. The doctrine of infallibility is quite narrow. You should really try to understand it as Catholics teach it before you glibly dismiss it.

So the Catholic church is infallible. Except when it’s not.

So how do you make the determination of what is infallible or not?

Something besides opinion.

Well then - is it true the CHURCH canNOT get rid of the pope it elected by any scriptural or legal means?
