Is the Pope speaking infallibly by declaring the death penalty to be anti-Christian? (birth control, hell)

Jesus tells us it is not what goes into the mouth that is bad but what comes out. Jesus ate pork. Chapter and verse were he did not?

That is why they were only fed carnal milk instead of spiritual solid food. But we are able to make those distinctions and properly divide the scriptures. Unfortunately, the religious leaders perpetuate the primitive carnal understanding and prevent the spiritual enlightenment. They will carry a heavy burden for it.
Are you without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, since it enters not his heart but his stomach and is expelled?

I’m only arguing the point that scripture says Jesus ate pork. Waiting for Zman to show chapter and verse.
Is the Pope infallible in his recent statements on it? I'd love to get the opinion of my Catholic friends, please.
I'm no Catholic but capital punishment is biblical, no matter what the pope says.
