As we near the canonizations of Blesseds John XXlll & John Paul ll, I have heard and read many remarks as to a coming "schism" in the Church. Many of those saying such things speculate that the schism will "come from the right."
While I don't normally use "right" and "left" in reference to the Church, I'll indulge here, just this once:
I think the schism will be well populated by people from both the right and the left. Many of these, from both extremes, are already in operative schism.
The priest (name withheld) right here in my diocese, who still uses the previous translation of the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite on weekdays, is no less in "schism," than the people I know who won't use the Luminous Mysteries because they claim that these came from "modernism."
A pox on both their houses.
The Catholic Church will remain as the splinters fall from the edges.
As Pope Emeritus Benedict XVl prophesied, we will become a smaller and more faithful Church.
