you speak of things that are lies -- Catholics do not claim infallibility for all members of the Catholic Church (whether part of the Latin rite or any other rite), we do not claim it for the Pope for all matters and all events -- Papal infallibility is humanly limited -- to being ONLY on matters of dogma and ONLY when spoken from the seat of St. Peter's authority.

PApal infallibility is the second last recourse. Primary importance is given to a Church council like VAtican II. An ecumenical council would take higher importance than that.
