"...I was taught that the pope is infallible..."

Probably the most misunderstood tenet of the Catholic Faith. Here are the four absolute requirements for a Pope to teach infallibly:

1. The Pope must teach as supreme doctor (teacher) of the whole world.
2. The Pope must be defining a doctrine of faith or morals.
3. The Pope must make his intention known by clear words that he is defining
a doctrine contained in the deposit of faith, and binding upon the consciences of men.
4. The Pope must attach the sanction of anathema to the decree, either explicitly or implicitly.

So, does Bergoglio meet the four requirements? Or does he not?

And even those rules weren’t made up until 1870.
