Catholic Church is already in schism, – Catholic priest
"In fact, the modern Catholic Church is already in schism, but it is an internal schism, hidden to most people. The divide is very clear and yet virtually unspoken. Nobody dares to really speak of it. The divide runs between cardinals. It runs between bishops and archbishops. It runs between theologians. It runs between parish priests. It runs between liturgists and catechists, church workers, musicians, teachers, journalists and writers.
It is not really a divide between conservative and liberal, between traditionalist and progressive," stated the priest.
"It is the divide between those who believe that Jesus Christ is the Virgin born Son of God and that as the second person of the Holy and undivided Trinity established his church on earth supernaturally filled with the Holy Spirit, which would stand firm until the end of time, and those who believe otherwise," he clarified.
"Those who believe otherwise are the modernists. They are the ones who think the church is a human construct. It is a historic accident that occurred two thousand years ago and succeeded by a few twists of fate and a few happy circumstances. Because of the believe that the church is a human construct from a particular time and place, the Church can and must adapt and change for every age and culture in which she finds Herself," stressed Fr. Dwight.
"This is the great divide. This is the schism which already exists. All that is required is for individual Catholics to decide which side of the chasm they reside," concluded the Catholic priest.
