""In any event, to an outsider, we are led to believe that the Pope is classed as being without sin and infallible.""

Infallible only in matters of doctrine and dogma!! Nothing else. As to being without sin, that can only apply as long as he commits no sin (of commission or of omission).

Given the lack of response, it would seem that the upper echelons are indeed above and beyond the reach of both law and justice, a frightening admission.
