Head of CDF warns of a split as big as the Reformation

[Maldon]

I think this is more about a split in belief and practice, not so much about a split in actual hierarchical structure, unless the Church begins, all of a sudden, to enforce discipline as in older days.

Enforcing discipline could bring about a real split, but I do not foresee such enforcement in this pontificate.

That leaves a split in beliefs and practices, but this is absurd, because it already exists and has been going on since VII. If this is what the good cardinal means, well, I wish him well, but he is a few decades behind in his analysis.
