  There is no such thing as close to infallible.  That is like kinda perfect?  Something either is perfect or it isn't.
  
  Pope John Paul, the first one, spoke openly about considering ordaining women priests and we have currently got cardinals who support ordaining women equally to men so that blows infallibility thru agreement of all bishops throughout the world.  In every age this issue has been disputed.
  
  The bible, in all 4 Gospels, Jesus warns us to treat no one differently than you wish to be treated.  This includes women & bishops and treatment of women by bishops and popes.  Ordination is a form of treatment.  It is something bishops do to those being ordained.  No church counsel ever came up with a biblical support for not ordaining women priests.  This is why Pope John Paul II was told he does not have grounds to make the rule infallible.
