The guy willing to take on the Evolutionists is a liberal?

Yes, Schönborn is one of the most liberal cardinals. Please review:

"Schönborn has repeated his support for optional celibacy in a statement that will likely confound the Vatican and be hard to clarify...
...
Even more sensational were Schönborn's comments in the interview that lasting gay relationships deserve respect and that the church needs to reconsider its position on remarried divorcees who currently are barred from receiving Communion."

You source leaves me VERY suspicious. All google references seem to point to the same article. Catholic sources seem to dispute this claim.

Vienna, Austria, Mar 11, 2010 / 08:30 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- After media outlets misinterpreted an article by Cardinal Christoph Schönborn to say that he is questioning the Church's rule of priestly celibacy, several high ranking churchmen have spoken out in praise of celibacy as a gift. They also dismissed the idea that celibacy is connected to pedophilia.
