Though the catholic church clearly states they must follow their Popes lead...it seems to me not all catholics believe this to be true rather it "depends" on their approval if or not the appointed Pope agrees with what they believe. I say this because there are many negative comments regarding Francis by catholics these days....so the question does remain ...Do they really follow and obey the Popes teachings???....seems to me they think and believe they have a choice. Most do the latter, depending upon their interpretation of their sources, while censoring evangelicals who search the Scriptures in order to ascertain the veracity of Catholic teaching, which faithful RCs are not to do.
