Not even remotely. We have had heretical Popes before, which is why Catholicism is the deposit of faith known as the Magesterium. The Magesterium is the collection of both Tradition and Scripture (which, by the by, is a product of Sacred Tradition since the Canon wasn't solidified until Trent... and the Orthodox still disagree with each other as to what books are to be used in their Liturgies with the Greek Orthodox not using Revelation at all), including the interpretation of the Scriptures.
Papal Infallibility does not work the way a lot of people think it does. Essentially, the Pope has to 1) make a formal declaration that something he is about to say is infallable, 2) Whatever it is has to be a matter of faith and morals, and 3) The teaching must be in line with the Traditions of the Church. Sacred Tradition includes 2,000 years of thought that all ties together in a truly incredible way, with special deference given toward the Church Fathers of the first 600 years or so (Augustine is seen as the last Father of the Church, I believe). So if the Pope comes out tomorrow and tries to infallably declare vanilla as the best flavor of ice cream, that's just his opinion.
As a side note: Pope Marcellinus was actually an apostate for a while. Under threat of torture, he decided to offer incense to Caesar and thus left the Church. He later publicly repented and did penance and is now sitting in heaven. Not to mention the apostasy of the first Pope.
I love Francis and pray for him every day, especially for the sake of his immortal soul and I respect the office if not the man. He's just a really bad Pope. Not the worst though... he doesn't have any kids from multiple concubines that we know of, unlike some previous Popes (lookin' at you, Alexander VI). On the other hand, the list of amazing Popes far outweighs the bad: Gregory the Great, Leo the Great, Peter, Linus, Clement, Sixtus, Nicholas the Great, and the list goes on and on and on.
And I love you too man. No homo.
