The backstory: After automatically upgrading to Catalina, it didn't take long to realize it was a bad idea. My MacBook Pro 15 ran VERY hot on Zoom meetings and when connected to my TV via HDMI. The new 'Music' that replaced iTunes was horrible and (my biggest problem), I lost the use of MS Office 2011 & I used Word and Excel on a daily basis. I wasn't about to pay an annual fee to MS for Office 365 when I had already paid for 2011 and they're fine.
SO - I decided to downgrade. I backed up to an external HD with Time Machine and successfully installed Mojave. iTunes is back and my MS apps are opening and happy once again. BUT - Safari won't open. I get: "You can't use this version of the application "Safari.app" with this version of macOS. You have macOS 10.14.6. The application requires macOS 10.15 or later."
I found several free downloads of Safari through third-party sites, but nothing successful.
My Safari that won't open is Version 14.0.2. OS is Mojave is 10.14.6
