The fallout from the EWTN interview with Cardinal Gerhard Mueller continues. That interview sent shockwaves through the hierarchy with the hierarchy scrambling to accuse the American cable news network of fomenting schism.

It appears though that Francis is in schism against Vatican I, other Councils, and previous popes as well:
“It is not licit to convince them of your faith. Proselytism is the strongest venom against the Ecumenical path.” ~ Francis, Paul VI Hall, Oct. 13, 2016.
Francis, August 7, 2013, while in Buenos Aires: “Do you need to convince the other to become Catholic? No, no, no. Go out and meet him. He is your brother. ...”
Vatican I, Dogmatic Constitution on the Church of Christ, Sess. 4, July 18, 1870: “But, that the episcopacy itself might be one and undivided, and that the entire multitude of the faithful through priests closely connected with one another might be preserved in the unity of faith and communion, placing Peter over the other apostles He established in him the perpetual principle and visible foundation of both unities, upon whose strength the eternal temple might be erected, and the sublimity of the Church might rise in the firmness of this faith.”
Vatican I, Dogmatic Constitution on the Church of Christ, Sess. 4, Chap. 2: “Moreover, what the Chief of pastors and the Great Pastor of sheep, the Lord Jesus, established in the blessed Apostle Peter for the perpetual salvation and perennial good of the Church, this by the same Author must endure always in the Church which was founded upon a rock and will endure firm until the end of ages.”
Pope Pius IX, First Vatican Council, Sess. 4, Chap. 2, [Canon]. “If anyone then says that it is not from the institution of Christ the Lord Himself, or by divine right that the blessed Peter has perpetual successors in the primacy over the universal Church, or that the Roman Pontiff is not the successor of blessed Peter in the same primacy, let him be anathema.”
Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, 1439, “Whoever wishes to be saved, needs above all to hold the Catholic faith…”
Pope Boniface VIII, Unam Sanctam, Nov. 18, 1302: “With Faith urging us we are forced to believe and to hold the one, holy, Catholic Church and that, apostolic, and we firmly believe and simply confess this Church outside of which there is no salvation nor remission of sin...”
Innocent III, Lateran IV, 1215: “There is one universal Church of all the faithful outside of which no one is saved.”
Pope St. Gregory the Great, 590-604: “The holy universal Church teaches that it is not possible to worship God truly except in her and asserts that all who are outside of her will not be saved.”
St. Paul, 1st century AD, Sacred Scripture:
Ephesians 4: 4-5: “One body and one Spirit; as you are called in one hope of your calling. One Lord, one faith, one baptism.”
1 Tim 3: 15: “...the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.”
Matthew 18: 17 “And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.”
The church... not the 40k protestant churches.
All confirmed and affirmed over a vast period of time.
Many more such examples are in agreement with the aforementioned in between the dates given.
Pope Francis attended an ecumenical prayer service at the Lutheran cathedral in Lund, Sweden on Oct. 31, 2016 despite them heretically condoning abortion, contraceptives, and homosexuality.
He was a greater enabler of heresy here and on Oct. 13th with his anti-convincing comments than Honorius I was an enabler with the Monothelites.

We don’t have a situation where Francis is occupying and promoting the “center” and fighting progressives and Traditionalists.
This is shown per a Pew Research poll (and reinforced by other, similar polls) that Novus Ordo adherents are progressive to a large extent given that 51% of them adhere to the heretical, pro-choice position on abortion.
Lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi; in conjunction with this, “Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.” (Mt. 7:20, Douay-Rheims).
Only 1/3 Catholics believe in the Real Presence with 2/3 thus being protestant and not adhering to what the church has always taught. Further, the Council of Trent affirmed that only consecrated hands being allowed to touch the Eucharistic host was an “Apostolic Tradition”, bolstered by St. Sixtus who affirmed in his time, c. 115 AD, that only consecrated hands were allowed to touch Sacred objects, giving insight into the Apostolic Tradition as opposed to the novel, Johnny-come-lately, Novus Ordo oft-complete with a lack of canonical rubrics, outlandish behaviors from priest and laypeople alike, and so on, numerous examples of such over the decades even to recent available on video.
Francis says he is deserving of criticism yet veils any criticism of himself as criticism of the church. This is reminiscent of a politician wrapping themselves in the flag of their country when making statements against others.
Pope Francis: “There is, for example, a large Catholic television channel that has no hesitation in continually speaking ill of the pope.” He said: “I personally deserve attacks and insults because I am a sinner, but the church does not deserve them. They are the work of the devil. I have also said this to some of them.”
And yet heretic-enablers still deflect away from Francis’ doing little to nothing on fixing things.
Francis Is doing little to nothing about the Schismatic, heretical German bishops who have waxed full pro-LGBTQ, he won’t or is incapable of simply saying God loves everyone, if you’re divorced you can partake of communion if you confess and are absolved, Jesus won’t condemn you but he told the adultress to “Go and sin no more”, he’s doing little to nothing to turn the church around headed back to believing in what it has always taught as only 1/3 Catholics believe this - the Real Presence.
He’s doing nothing about fixing how 51% of Novus Ordo adherents are pro-choice on abortion per a Pew Reseaech poll and others that have similar findings, and they say nothing concerning Francis either being a closet heretic, an enabler, or just imcompetent on dealing with these, nor do they say anything about Francis letting Fr. Martin peddle his twisted views without reining him in publicly, so it’s obvious they are either are an enabler of heresies, and/or an enabler of Francis routinely failing, and/or are run-of-the-mill popesplainers.
Ut unum sint!
Good stuff. Based on that first comment of +Francis, I’m not sure that’s mere schism.
