So the Pope is a communist? Big surprise.
I’m a Christian, not a Catholic. Therefore, I view the pope as a good man who is flawed, and quite falible. History tells us that the good modifier was a stretch for some popes.
As such, I’d wish for the pope to tend to his business, that of spiritual guidance, and stay out of economic matters.

Nope. Not even close.
“Big surprise.”
What is most surprising is how you could embarrass yourself this way.
“I’m a Christian, not a Catholic.”
Catholics are Christians.
“Therefore, I view the pope as a good man who is flawed, and quite falible.”
He would agree with you.
“History tells us that the good modifier was a stretch for some popes.”
Yes, and “great” and “saintly” was a good modifier for many of them.
“As such, I’d wish for the pope to tend to his business, that of spiritual guidance, and stay out of economic matters.”
Sometimes the two are very related. Ever hear of the poor?
Believe it or not, most Catholics would agree with you. The Catholic Church only teaches that the Pope is "infallible" on matters that pertain to faith and morals (for example, naming saints and explaining original sin) and NOT on anything else (science, economics, politics, etc.) Obviously the Pope is a mortal man and he makes mistakes.
