A phrase mocking any token or procedure the possession or performance of which invests a person with arbitrary authority. It's a nod to the specific criteria necessary for the Pope to be said to be exercising Papal Infallibility -- and so be speaking for God. Without fulfilling the criteria he's just a man in a funny hat and can be as wrong any anyone else.
