Popes aren't perfect. Remember that in Catholic tradition, Peter was the first pope. And Peter really got a lot of things wrong.
If you use Peter as the benchmark for what to expect from a pope, you'll see that they aren't some object of worship, they are just the inheritor of a respected position of an earthly government.
Mortal holy father
The context of father is the same as Paul's self description of a "begetter onto the Gospels"
