Yes, Tribunals sometimes do make mistakes. Popes sometimes make mistakes. Even devout Traditionalist Catholics make mistakes.

Fears-in-advance because a pope "might" do something wrong --- preemptive fear in anticipation of evidence --- may possibly involve rash judgment. I think such judgments should be prayed over with discretion, not aired in public to all and sundry.

You just made a public judgement above. How about practicing what you preach?

Since when is expressing a fear a judgement?

Fears-in-advance

That's an interesting phrase. All of my fears are of the future; not the past.
