“Infallible in faith and morals” is the usual phrase (not infallible in everything), so I’m willing to be wrong in the event that I (and you) have used the word too stringently.

I don't think anyone is saying that "everything" a pope says is infallible. However, when a pope makes a statement "ex cathedra" that entire statement is to be taken as "infallible".

OK. Explain to me then how a comment can be *infallible* when the speaking of it is subject to error.
