John 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Seems clear enough.

Bingo! So right. Well, What did we learn from this papal announcement? We learned the Pope can be dead wrong.

That blows papal infallibility right out the window, doesn’t it?

This wouldn't be an example of papal infallibility. Papal infallibility pertains to times when any Pope proclaims by a definitive act a doctrine pertaining to faith or morals. It does not mean that everything a Pope says will be infallible.

Regardless, most of what is being called "wrong" here is simply a misunderstanding of what he is saying. IMHO, I do think that his comment about children of God is wrong (although I do hope I am also just misunderstanding him).

Nor even close! There are four qualifications that must be met for a Papal teaching to be considered infallible. This meets, at best, only one of the four.
