[Bulwyf]

the pope is the very essence of fallible. Only God can be perfect, and blameless and not deceive.

[Campion]

"Papal infallibility" implies only that the Pope can teach without doctrinal error under certain narrowly defined conditions, which don't obtain in the normal daily exercise of his office.

It's not a claim that he's either "perfect" or "blameless". He goes to confession quite regularly (the last Pope confessed his sins weekly; I assume this one does as well), so he knows very well that he's a sinner in need of God's grace like the rest of us.
