@Carol H Material heretic is a loose term to describe a Catholic erring in good faith. You cannot say that about apostate and manifest heretic Francis. What you say is blatantly heretical. I am not wrong. You are dead wrong and clueless, as I have just proven.
Here apostate antipope Francis says traditional Catholicism is "idolatry":
Francis explicitly rejects absolute truth (dogma), says belief in it is "evil" and "idolatry"Heretic cannot be pope, that is a divine law, it is also well rooted in canon law.
Heretic, since he is not a member of Church, since he
is outside, cannot hold office in Church.
These are relevant dogmas to the point:Pope Leo XIII,
Satis Cognitum (#15), June 29, 1896: "No one, therefore, unless in communion with Peter can share in his authority, since
it is absurd to imagine that he who is outside can command in the Church.”
Pope Eugene IV,
Council of Florence, "Cantate Domino," 1441, ex cathedra: "The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that
all those who are outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans
but also Jews or
heretics and schismatics, cannot share in eternal life and will go into the everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless they are joined to the Church before the end of their lives"
St. Antoninus (1459): "In the case in which the pope would become a heretic, he would find himself,
by that fact alone and without any other sentence, separated from the Church. A head separated from a body cannot, as long as it remains separated, be head of the same body from which it was cut off.
A pope who would be separated from the Church by heresy, therefore,
would by that very fact itself cease to be head of the Church.
He could not be a heretic and remain pope, because, since he is outside of the Church, he cannot possess the keys of the Church."
To continue argue after this point, is heresy and apostasy. People are obliged to recognise dogmatic facts, dogmas, and facts flowing from dogmas (i.e. that manifest non-believer cannot be head of Church, as the dogmas prove).
Also, pope has a supreme authority, and cannot be deposed by cardinals. He can loose office automatically through heresy, but cannot be deposed by those of lower rank. First see cannot be judged (that is a dogma), so what you propose is schismatic and heretical.

As regards to Caviezel. No, I am not harsh on him. You simply lack Christian charity. You simply lack hatred towards evil, and your position will lead you to Hell. You think God is a joke, and that Caviezel is not so bad at this point, that he is free to make love on stage with other women, to commit adultery, for the cameras and for the whole world, and that thing does not matter to you.
We don’t need people who are more concerned with making sure evil men are respected than that evil men are denounced. We need those who love the Lord and therefore
hate evil. Psalm 96:10- "You that love the Lord, hate evil..."
For when people who are
unwilling, unable or uninclined to be combative, to refuse people, to offend people, and yes, to condemn people – when those individuals attempt to deal with or teach God’s truths, they will undoubtedly compromise those truths in order to please others.
