If you do not believe in Papal Infallibility, than you are not Catholic. It is that simple. I advise that you join another religion or no religion at all. As for the Church it maintains that the Pope is infallible when speaking Ex Cathedra.
It really is that simple. Either believe and accept, or leave and join another Church. What no one needs is another Cafeteria Catholic deciding what is correct and what isn't. That is the idea of Protestantism.
There are some Protestant churches that have decided that Homosexual activity is Christian and not at all sinful. Most even teach that the interruption of conception, contraception,is not sinful even abortion are OK for some ‘Christian’ churches.
There are many churches to choose from. No one is saying that you have to be Catholic.

I am Protestant to my DNA.
As I wrote before, I respect the RCC. I respect the Pope as head of the oldest and largest Christian church. As such, he is entitled to respect; he has the right to be heard; he has the right to have his views considered seriously and thoughtfully. I have written before that I feel fortunate to have lived during the lives of three great men: John XXIII, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI.
But however respectfully and thoughtfully, I consider their views - or the views of the leaders of my own church, for that matter - their views must stand or fall on their own their own truth and validity. I must be able reconcile their views with Scripture and with reason.
I left the Episcopal Church in large part because of its views on homosexuality generally and homosexual marriage and ordination specifically.
I am satisfied with the views of my current church but I will leave if necessary.
