text: On the one hand, I would not say that "all traditional Catholic [groups and movements] are schismatic-like"; but there has always been a strong strain of reactionary theology and politics in the church, and some of it is pretty far out there. On the other hand, you may be right; I grant that the term "schism" has a certain precision which "schismatic-like" lacks.
  But rather than get bogged down in a discussion of schisms past and present, let's talk about the one that may (or may not) be in our future. I reiterate that I don't expect that to happen, but I began to see it as a possibility when +Burke introduced the notion that he might issue a "formal act of correction of the Roman pontiff."  I don't know -- do you? -- if the other three cardinals joined him in that threat. But if +Burke issues such a document, I think the schism becomes a real possibility. What do you think?  What is Burke's end game?
