Surely it is true that you reap what you sow. These guys have a lot to answer for, on earth they deserved to be locked up with key thrown away.
It would be great if people practiced what they preached.

Is the 1962 statement covered by Papal Infalibility?

No. If you want to know generally why...
Excised from newadvent.org.
"As regards matter, only doctrines of faith and morals, and facts so intimately connected with these as to require infallible determination, fall under the scope of infallible ecclesiastical teaching. These doctrines or facts need not necessarily be revealed; it is enough if the revealed deposit cannot be adequately and effectively guarded and explained, unless they are infallibly determined."
If you really want to know the Church and papal infallibility, you should probably read the whole link:

Doesn't " Papal Infalibility " reserve the right to make mistakes? ( paradox alert )
