Isn’t the Pope infallible? So if the evangelical leader finds himself ‘divided’ against the Pope, shouldn’t the evangelical leader admit they’re wrong and repent?
[Rhetorical question, we all know he’ll just double down.]

Protestants in general don’t recognize the pope’s authority, so not really. In point of fact, they generally see him as barely-christian at all (and guilty of trying to intrude between god and the people’s salvation.). The whole temple veil being torn open was symbolic of removing the need for clergy at all.
Though, of course, this doesn’t mean that protestant clergy aren’t as likely to assert their moral authority, too, in a supernatural-sized “trust me, bro”

To catholics, the pope is only “infallible” via ex cathedra. i.e when speaking from the chair. The last time this happened AFAIK was 1950.

I think the article is specifically referring to Catholics though, not Protestants.
No, the article is about Protestants. Specifically Franklin Graham, who is I believe Southern Baptist.
Franklin Graham is… definitely not catholic. IIRC, he’s Baptist, like his father - Billy Graham
