#9 Business Insider:

Biden then presented the coin to Francis, pointing out the US Seal on the front and the emblem for the 261st Signal Brigade unit in the Delaware Army National Guard that Biden's son, Beau, served in on the back. "I know my son would want me to give this to you," he said.

"Now the tradition is, and I'm only kidding about this," Biden said as he put the coin into the Pope's hand. "If next time I see you and you don't have it, you have to buy the drinks."

"I'm the only Irishman you've ever met who's never had a drink," he quickly added, to which the Pope responded through his translator that Irish people "love whiskey."

"I know that!" Biden exclaimed.

Maybe its this Cringe.

#11 'the pope is infallible in matters of faith and morals.

What it means is that the question is off the table. Not being a democratic institution, it's sort of like a judge who says 'that can not be entered as evidence'. Consider its the Vatican's exclusionary rule.
