I could go on...
And, if the Catholic Church professes that a supernatural being exists, why would virgin birth and resurrection be off limits to it?

34 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."
35 "For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
Luke 12:51-52
51 "Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division."
52 "For from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three"
Sounds like a fallible human being said these things.
Don't atheism and homosexuality set family members against one another?

The pope is selected by a vote. That's it. Perfectly fallible.
The pope is infallible because he is the pope. No matter who he is. There is not a breed of infallible white male Italians that the cardinals need to discover.
