No, With Benedetto there is no danger of heresies or schisms.

At the very last meeting he demonstrated that schisms and heresies, besides being blameworthy in themselves, are fatal to the Church, not only because they deprive her of souls, but because they deprive her of elements of progress as well; for if the innovators remained subject to the Church, their errors would perish, and that element of truth, that element of goodness, which--in a certain measure--is nearly always united to error would become vital in the body of the Church." Signora Albacina observed that all this was very beautiful, and if that was how matters really stood, certainly the Marchesa's prophecy would not be fulfilled.
"The prophecy about the _tordbudella_, the 'entrail twister ?' Ah no!" said the Professor, laughing.

"Such things are not done now, and I do not believe they ever were done.

It is all calumny! Only the Marchesa and certain others like her in Rome believe these things.

A Roman priest, a _priest_, you understand, dared to warn Benedetto, to advise him to be cautious.
