You may be interested in an article I came across today at Big Pulpit in which the author argues we are headed for a "second reformation" or rather an outright revolt which will see the Church split in two. He begins..
"We are about to have another Protestant Reformation in the Catholic Church, and this one is going to be much larger than the last one. I think we had a window of opportunity to avert this crisis during the pontificate of Benedict XVI, but the bishops of the West (Europe, North America and Oceania) largely rejected this opportunity. Now that Benedict XVI is retired, many of these same bishops are doing everything they can to roll back the reforms he instituted -- or at least, as many as they can. In some dioceses now, it's as if there never was a Pope Benedict XVI.
Thankfully, not all bishops are that way, and it shows in their dioceses were traditional liturgy and good catechises have been embraced. These dioceses will suffer the least when the "Second Reformation" comes.
Please note, I use the term "reformation" loosely here, because there really is nothing being reformed. What I'm talking about here is an outright revolt against the apostolic teachings of the Church, just like the First Reformation was. Protestants, however, define this revolt as a "Reformation" and that appears to be the name that stuck. So I use that term strictly in its historical sense, and it shouldn't be misconstrued as a real "reformation" of any kind.
This Second Reformation will be a similar revolt. It will be a revolt in the Catholic Church -- an outright rebellion -- but the leaders of this revolt (and the mainstream media) will call it a "Second Reformation.""
