But, to me as a non-Catholic, I do not consider he was infallible.

Catholic teachings are that the Pope is infallible ONLY on matters of Dogma and ONLY when he speaks ex-cathedra, i.e. from the Throne of Peter, that is when he is providing the final earthly authority, based on consultation with the Holy Spirit of a matter regarding church dogma.

If a Pope says he dislikes eggs, that's not an infallible saying!! :-)
