They can’t have another pope. I love the one we have! Such a kind and amazing man. I don’t know what we did to deserve him, but I’m very glad that we got him.
This doctrine was defined dogmatically in the First Vatican Council of 1869–1870, but had been defended before that, existing already in medieval theology and being the majority opinion at the time of the Counter-Reformation. 3 Wikipedia
Doesn’t make them so, believing they are is equally wrong. It is dangerous to think anyone or anything is infallible, remember “unsinkable”? Giving to humans what they do not possess and still won’t have after.
I believe the idea came from thinking he had a “hotline” to God; when actually from Israel it’s the local call…I too, believe this is the best Pope ever…
Not every word uttered by a Pope is considered infallible. See the following for a good if complex explanation: http://www.catholic.com/tracts/papal-infallibility
John XXII wasn’t bad from the Protestant view. At least we got promoted to “separated bretheren” from “heretics”. :-) The best put down was when William F. Buckley said agorisma was supported only by “a few simple parish priests”. In the best use of elipses ever, Christian Century wrote, “Angelo Roncceli is no simple parish priest … he is a bishop … of Rome.”
They don’t want the Pope to be infallible. They want themselves to be considered infallible and the Pope to be their spokesman. (I almost wrote “spokesperson”, but they’re definitely not there, yet.)

Oh no! This Pope is the best Pope, the best Pope ever. He seems to follow the words of the Christ more than any Pope ever. Wonderful man.
