Francis made Springfield Bishop Mitchell Rozanski, 61, on June 10 archbishop of St Louis.
Rozanski is anti-Catholic and pro-gay. In a February 2016 pastoral letter he speculated that Catholics lapse from the Faith, because they “feel unwelcomed.”

Rozanski quoted from a diocesan survey according to which the - so called - “gay community feels that they aren’t welcome.” He expressed his hope “that a special outreach could be done to them” - although this "outreach" exists: the confessional.
Outgoing Saint Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson, 75, is a "conservative." He succeeded Archbishop Raymond Burke who was called to Rome.

I didn't advance either point. You doing so is a non-sequitur. However, contradicting the Church's teachings (in this case, the recognition of sainthood) isn't a negotiable item. Doing so is heresy. If you'd like to split hairs on whether it's "only" schism, be my guest. :D.

If you believe otherwise, YOU need to support your claim. A direct quote from Canon Law or the Catechism would do nicely. Links would help.
