Papal claims of 'infallibility' were only made from the year 1870. The word 'Pope' itself derives from Greek word 'pappas' which means 'Father'. This title was first used by the Orthodox Patriarchs of Alexandria, long before it was assumed by the bishops of Rome.
Is the pope the teaching authority of the Church?
Catholics, (big C, not catholic) believe that the authority of the Pope comes from the Apostle Peter, whom Jesus said "Upon this Rock I build my Church". The Rock was Peter, to whom he was speaking. Peter went later to Rome and started a church there, which over the next 400 years became what is now the Catholic Church. The leader of that Church became the leader of that Christian movement, and was titled the Pope.The Pope's authority is usually referred to as infallibility. In this sense, however, the word has a slightly different meaning than usual. The Pope is only considered infallible when he makes particular statements on faith or morals that he declares to be contained in divine revelation. The statement, also, can not contradict the already established Sacred Tradition or Sacred Scripture.This papal authority is rarely used. In fact, only two statements have been officially accepted as papal infallibility. There are approximately seven other statements (issued before papal infallibility was officially defined by the Catholic church) that are often considered instances of papal infallibility.

What was the outcome of the First Vatican Council?
A:The First Vatican Council of 1869-70 decided, against the wishes of the liberal minority, to declare papal infallibility to be a tenet of the Catholic faith.
