What's a good verb to go with heresy?
Oddly enough there seems to be no good word for "say heretical thing". We have subject nouns (contrarian), object nouns (heresy), adjective (politically incorrect) but no good verb.

"Schism" feels pretty applicable. (It's a core tenet of the Church of the SubGenius: "A SubGenius MUST schism.")
