There are over 65 million Catholics in the US. Those I know don't hang on the Pope's every pronouncement. It would probably be safe to say that over half are Republicans, and when the German Pope aligns himself with Cuba and the other kleptocrasies he risks alienating American Catholics. It may make leftwingers happy.

I would not be a good leftwinger. I would never want to be allied with Castro, Argentina's Chavez or the murderous regime in Sudan.

It is only in connection with doctrinal authority as such that, practically speaking, this question of infallibility arises; that is to say, when we speak of the Church's infallibility we mean, at least primarily and principally, what is sometimes called active as distinguished from passive infallibility. We mean in other words that the Church is infallible in her objective definitive teaching regarding faith and morals

And this is the same church that stood idly by while the Holocaust occurred, right?
