From article: Schism is the refusal to submit to the authority of the pope or to join in communion with the members of the Catholic Church subject to him.

Like St. Athanasius?

St. Athanasius
Fighter of heresy, falsely accused, ridiculed, condemned, removed from office by heretics and church hierarchy, banished for over ten years, returned, expelled for a second time, continued to fight for the Faith, the entire world against him, "no friends but God and Death...," died, and ultimately declared a Saint.

Huh? St. Athanasius was no schismatic.

Please don't besmirch the memory of this great Doctor of the Church.
