The answer is it doesn't illustrate infallibility at all. The church as a whole has never taught that it was infallible, that is impossible to be in error. If you look at the acts of the apostles you can see that St Paul thought Peter was wrong, and there is a story of him being corrected in his attitude to gentile christians. So if St Peter could be wrong it follows that any christian leader can be wrong. The idea of papal infallibility is a very recent idea that came about only in the nineteenth century and was adopted to cover certain teachings of the Roman Catholic church. No other church accepts it as a plausible doctrine and it is questioned by some of the catholic church's most renowned teachers. See for instance Hans Kung's book Infallible.

What is meant by the gift of infallibility given to the Church?
Excerpt from "The Catholic Catechism" by John A.Hardon, S.J. :It is a dogma divinely revealed: that the Roman Pontiff when he speaks ex cathedra, that is , when acting in the office of shephard and teacher of all Christians, he defines, by virtue of his supreme apostolic authority, doctrine concerning faith and morals to be held by the universal Church, possesses through the divine assistance promised him in the person of St. Peter, the infallibility with which the divine Redeemer willed His Church to be endowed in defining doctrine concerning faith or morals; and that such definitions are therefore irreformable of themselves, and not from the consent of the Church. If this still isn't clear to you, just consult the "Catechism of the Catholic Church". It answers any questions you might have.AnswerThe First Vatican Council taught and declared that the pope is infallible. It is also a necessary, if unstated, assumption that the First Vatican Council was also infallible and, by inference, possibly all other councils of bishops. Bishop Geoffrey Robinson (Confronting Power and Sex in the Catholic Church) asks how a council can infallibly declare the infallibility of the pope unless we assume in advance that the council was itself infallible. In the absence of infallibility on the part of the First Vatican Council, the pronouncement of papal infallibility in Pastor Aeternalis is no more than an opinion.

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. The definition of papal infallibility which was eventually agreed circumscribed the Pope's powers, sharply distinguishing infallibility from inerrancy, and limiting ex cathedra statements to those concerned with faith and morals.A small number of Swiss, Dutch and German Catholics felt strongly enough about the outcome of the council to break away from the Catholic Church and join together in a body known as the 'Old Catholics'.
What is Counciliarism?
Conciliarism was a reform movement in the 14th-16th-century Catholic Church which held that supreme authority in the Church resided with an Ecumenical council, apart from, or even against, the pope. The movement was largely condemned by the Catholic Church who said that ultimate authority resides in the infallibility of the Magisterium of the Church. There are some liberals in the Church who feel the Church should be more conciliar and papal power should be shared with the bishops.
Why did Saint Paul and Barnabas leave Jerusalem for Antioch?
