The last part is incorrect as all Catholics have the right of personal discernment.
The Church has the right and obligation to teach what it thinks is correct, but we as Catholics have the right to decide what we choose to personally believe. And excellent book that covers this is "Let Your (Informed) Conscience Be Your Guide".
"The conscience is the innermost and most secret nucleus of man. There he withdraws with his intellectual capacities into complete separation, alone with himself or better, alone with God, whose voice echoes in his conscience. There he decides over good or bad. There choses between victory or defeat." Pius XII
I've never seen someone walk so close to the edge of heresy, for so long.
Yes you have, his name is Jesus.
There's a move on now that includes some 16 bishops in the catholic church to have pope Francis declared a heretic.
Jesus is at the heart of Francis' teaching and preaching, not the tired tradition of the Church. He follows Vat II which his enemies do not validate. A good example is Francis' 'Stations of the Cross' on Good Friday.
Second Station: Jesus takes up His Cross
A quick reference to the Christian crucifix is immediately followed by mention of “today’s newly crucified: the homeless; the young deprived of hope, without work, and without prospects; the immigrants relegated to slums at the fringe of our societies after having endured untold suffering.” The “marginalized, exploited and forgotten” then also get a mention, and discrimination is denounced. Thus far the meditation. The prayer that follows mentions Christ as our model for living and ends with the petition “that we may put our lives always at the service of others.”
The Pope gives Atheists some credit
The actual wording
Second Station
Jesus takes up his Cross
“
If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me” (
Lk 9:23)
Meditation:
Lord Jesus, it is easy to wear a crucifix on a chain around our neck or to use it to decorate the walls of our beautiful cathedrals or homes. It is less easy to encounter and acknowledge today’s newly crucified: the homeless; the young deprived of hope, without work, and without prospects; the immigrants relegated to slums at the fringe of our societies after having endured untold suffering. Sadly, these camps, unsafe and insecure, are being razed to the ground along with the dreams and hopes of thousands of marginalized, exploited and forgotten women and men. How many children, too, suffer discrimination on the basis of their origin, the color of their skin or their social status? How many mothers suffer the humiliation of seeing their children mocked and deprived of opportunities open to their schoolmates and others their age?

There is much in common with what Trump wants for the country, backward retreat.
