Bishop Attacks His Own Priest Who Signed Letter Denouncing Francis' Heresies
Modernist Den Bosch Bishop Gerard de Korte, Netherlands, has attacked his own priest, Father Cor Mennen, in a column in the Protestant daily Nederlands Dagblad (June 27).
De Korte criticized Mennen for signing the letter listing Pope Francis' heresies.
Mennen replied on FortesInFide.nl, standing firm, again denouncing Francis' heresies. He observes that Francis ignores the dogmas, directs the Church towards Protestantism, refuses to dialogue, and insults his critics under covert terms like “Pharisees.”

Look, we shouldn't wish the worst on anybody. If we truly are subjugated to God's autority, you say something like "praying for a miracle that undoubtedly gives glory to God." Pray for conversions.
Bishop Blames Gloria.tv For Scandal He Himself Produced
Innsbruck Bishop Hermann Glettler has accused Gloria.tv of having “turned into a scandal” his scandalous “Jesus Clock” which he is currently displaying in the Spitalkirche in Innsbruck.
In a letter to critics of what Glettler calls an “art initiative” he accuses Gloria.tv of “accusatory and defamatory reporting” which according to him “triggered the outrage to a large extent.”
Glettler shows no self-criticism and no hindsight. Instead, he bewails that he had to face “very hurtful” statements and allegations.
Simultaneously he writes that his clock [allegedly] made “many more clearly aware of the meaning of the cross,” stressing that the clock doesn't involve the “slightest trace of blasphemy.”
Glettler only admits that “at first sight” his clock could “hurt religious feelings” but only in those who are “fixed” on a “conventional way of representing the cross.”
Attempting to stir up emotions, Glettler recounts that the “artist” …
According to him “nobody is forced” to enter the "Jesus Clock" church....
So much for one, universal church. He protects his unsafe place.
Cardinal Burke: The Church runs the risk "of a schism"
Pope Francis cannot permit that a bishops' conference or an individual bishop does anything contrary to the doctrine and practice of the faith, Cardinal Raymond Burke said in a gloria.tv interview hosted by the Austrian philosopher Thomas Stark.
Burke called the proposal that German Protestants should be "allowed" to receive Holy Communion "absurd."
He hopes that Francis will correct this, "Otherwise, the Roman Catholic Church ends up in a situation like the ever multiplying Protestant denominations."
Further, Burke commented on Francis' recent denying the existence of hell and the immortality of the human soul noticing that there has not been a proper correction on the part of the Holy See.
According to Burke, it would have been necessary to say that Francis "reaffirms what the Church has always taught about the last things."
According to Burke the current situation in the Church runs the risk "of a schism".

Well, this concept of schism (which I learned from the nuns was pronounced skism - I guess everything's up in the air) is quite new to me.
When do we recognize / decide we need/don't need, have / don't have a schism?
