" The Capuchin priest, Father Thomas Weinandy, whom Pope Francis himself named to the Vatican’s International Theological Commission in 2014, writes that it is out of America that Francis receives “his most theologically challenging and pastorally concerned criticism, which centers on a questionable remaking of the faith and of the Church.”

Yet what Francis fails to grasp is that “the overwhelming majority of his American critics would never initiate a schism,” Weinandy writes. “They recognize that he is the pope and thus the successor of Peter, and that to remain within the Catholic Church is to remain faithful to the pope, even if it entails being critical of the pope in one’s faithfulness to him.”

The schism, Weinandy insists, comes not from conservatives faithful to the Church, but from progressives who never really accepted Church teaching and who use the Francis pontificate to bestow an air of legitimacy upon their heterodox positions.

We perceive a situation, Weinandy says, in which a majority of the world’s faithful are loyal to the pope as St. Peter’s successor (though critical of his pontificate), while a large contingent of progressive Catholics “enthusiastically support Francis precisely because he allows and fosters their ambiguous teaching and ecclesial practice.” "

The real schism was Vatican II which was created by progressives.
