the Pope is infallible

Technically, the pope needs to explicitly invoke infallibility before making a statement if he wants it to be infallible. The last time this was done was 1950 to state Mary, mother of Jesus, had both her body and soul transported to heaven. Other statements are just the pope's opinion and followers of the faith are allowed to disagree without being heretical.

Also, I think there is a bit of a mistranslation: the Catholic Church most likely does not consider material poverty a sin, they meant "being poor in spirit", or lacking any good values.

Pfft, amateurs. Discordian popes can apply infallibility retroactively.

Thanks for this info, this is very interesting! I'm not religious but I find this kind of thing fascinating.
