That's only a thing if he says it ex cathedra, or from his big pimp chair.
The catch is that there's no way to get on the thing
Thus is one of those things that we just kinda say but also isnt meaningfully true. Ratzinger as head of the congregation of the doctrine of the faith wrote a whole thing about how thats obviously not true ans that also what "Ex Cathedra" means is so much broader than what people realise.
Yeah, it's as meaningful as saying "from the Oval Office" when talking about an executive order.
The idea of a special pope chair is funny though, I want to will it into being true.
Can you link it? I'm trying to understand the claim of infallibility better and so far I've mostly been going off of John Henry Newman.
