No, actually it’s common sense. The papacy is about an office, not time.

Of course! When you have multiple years passing before a new Pope is "elected", times filled with murder and intrigue, it is necessary to invent a "timeless" time.

No, the popes are infallible in faith and morals and only under certain defines circumstances. You have the problem understanding this.

Wonderful! I have finally found one who knows without question which Encyclicals, Bulls, whatever, are "infallible". Please list them.

I see. So if an institution is without a CEO for some time, then it becomes an invalid one. A head coach leaves a team, and a new head coach is not named immediately, therefore the team needs to be disbanded.

Fascinating logic.

Wrong again. It’s not a “timeless time”, but a timeless office. The office exists as long as the Church exists.

“Wonderful! I have finally found one who knows without question which Encyclicals, Bulls, whatever, are “infallible”. Please list them.”

No. Ask me which one is and I will tell you, but I am not going to spend my time going through thousands and sorting them into one category or another. There are lists online if you really want them. Go for it. You can do research, right? Oh, that’s right. Probably not. Too bad.
