    Well, technically the Pope is only infallible with respect to cathedral matters:

    The definition of the doctrine of papal infallibility was promulgated on July 18, 1870, in the dogmatic constitution Pastor aeternus (Latin: “Eternal Shepherd”) of the First Vatican Council. This document states the conditions under which a pope may be said to have spoken infallibly, or ex cathedra (“from his chair” as supreme teacher). It is a prerequisite that the pope intend to demand irrevocable assent from the entire church in some aspect of faith or morals.

      And since the dogma of infallibility was proclaimed close to 200 years ago, there have only been two instances it has been invoked.
