Somehow the Pope speaking when sitting on his throne is more authoritative than the Pope speaking at a Mass or writing in his study, a bizarre notion for which there is no warrant in Holy Tradition just as there is no warrant for localizing the infallibility which the Church posesses by virtue of the indwelling the Holy Spirit in one man or one office.

Do you really believe that papal infallibility has anything to do with a piece of furniture?

"From the throne" is the Latin church's phrase, not mine, and I have no doubt it would be interpretted in the narrow sense if necessary to retract a Papal pronouncement which became troublesome for the Vatican at some future time.
