"Heretics" are now "people of faith with a different world-view".

"Apostates" are now "enlightened, progressive prelates".

Anti-Catholic protestant sects are now "our separated brethren in Christ".

Muslims are "a great religion" "who together with us worship one, merciful God".

It's all part of the "new ecclesiology" "in the spirit of Vatican 2".

And Traditional Catholics who practice the faith of their forefathers are called "schismatics".

Depends on which group you mean, actually. Some are more commonly referred to as "Orthodox", as in Greek or Russian Orthodox. Others are called the "Old Catholics." Some go by SSPX, SSPV, whatever.

You can call them schismatics, I guess.
