The Austrian Cardinal will lose no opportunity to embarrass the Holy Father, whether it's going to Medjugorje or hosting homosexual artwork at his Cathedral, or making the Bishops look disunited by his imprudent statements questioning Church doctrine. The Bishops should present a united front to the press and the world. It used to be extremely rare that a Bishop would attack a fellow Bishop, well, it's happening now with increasing frequency. Sometimes it's welcome and sometimes it's not.
So, Jimmy Akin and Father Fessio defenses notwithstanding, the Cardinal urges liberalism within the Church, giving hope to dissidents and fuel for the media to burn.

Vienna Archbishop Christoph Cardinal Schönborn said today (Mon) he shared the concern of Eisenstadt Bishop Paul Iby’s concern about mandatory celibacy for Roman Catholic priests.
"The concern that Bishop Iby expressed is shared by all of us (Austrian bishops), and I am happy to be in a Church in which there is freedom of speech and opinion," he said.
Austrian bishops had been expected to discuss celibacy at last week’s parish council conference in Mariazell, Styria, that they all attended but there has been no public confirmation that they did.
