To suggest that the pope is infallible also suggests that Catholic doctrine is 100% correct. As a former Catholic who is a Christian, I'd argue that this is not the case.
If you believe that god's word never changes (as I believe), if the pope is infallible why then have different popes ruled differently on matters of faith? If God's word never changes, how then can different popes rule differently and both be right?
According to my logic, the pope cannot be infallible on matters of faith.
