My misunderstanding was on the “he defines a doctrine concerning faith or morals to be held by the whole church”, specifically “defines”, which is not simply, as I understood it, “makes a statement concerning X”
To be fair to you, I could have been nicer. I have been constantly looked over in my life and career and not given credence to my thoughts, which has resulted into too much bitterness.
I will also concede that the pope when speaking regularly can be considered infallible until a later pope, or the councils decide otherwise.
I apolgozie for my candor. It was unbecoming and shameful and I hope you will forgive the unkindness I have paid you. Blessings upon you and your family and I wish only the best for you and your kin.
You as well. And in the interest of further apologizing; I’d like to share this link with you. It’s a brief overview of the Dicasteries in the Catholic Church.
There’s even a Dicastery of Social Justice! But these can be considered councils that advise the pope. Where ultimately, the pope has the final say.
The catholic church has such a fascinating amount of bureaucracy in it lol.
Have a beautiful day, and may great blessings come to you.
After digging I’ll concede the point.

Apologies accepted, and to be honest I’d rather have a tense argument than to be ignored, especially when it’s a good opportunity to learn 😁
Wishing you all the best
