WHERE IS THE TRUE SCHISM IN CATHOLICISM AND WHY ISN’T ANYONE, TO INCLUDE POPE LEO AND THE BISHOPS IN UNION WITH HIM, TALKING ABOUT IT, ADDRESSING IT AND TRYING TO STEM THE TIDE? WILL THE SYNODAL CHURCH INCREASE OR DECREASE THIS ACTUAL SCHISM?

Rigid Catholics who think the pre-Vatican II Mass and all that accompanies it cannot have a place in the Church fail to recognize the actual schism in the Church and it is Catholics leaving for Protestant sects, the non-denominationals in particular. These schismatic Catholics far outnumber those who are members of the FSSPX or any sedevacantists groups and even those who attend the TLM under the authority of their local bishops. 

To the heterodox left, the Tridientine Mass and its theological outlook on the world, the flesh and the devil is the main threat to Catholic unity! But they are dead wrong and ideological in their approach to TLM Catholics in full communion with the Pope and bishops in union with him. It’s the non-denominationals that is the ongoing threat to full communion with the Church. Catholics joining these sects are the largest schismatic group of Catholics in the world!  Why am I the only one calling attention to this fact and complaining about it?

From AI:

Approximately 14% of U.S. adults raised Catholic now identify as Protestant, a significant portion of whom have shifted to non-denominational churches, which have grown to represent 14% of American Christians. Catholicism has the highest "religious switching" loss, with over 30% of former Catholics leaving the faith for non-denominational or unaffiliated groups. 

Key Findings on Catholic Transfers:

• Leaving for Protestantism: Among those raised Catholic, 14% now identify as Protestant, a category that often includes non-denominational believers.
• Overall Loss: Catholicism faces the highest net loss due to religious switching, with over six people leaving the faith for every convert to Catholicism.
• Non-Denominational Growth: Non-denominational churches are among the fastest-growing groups in the U.S., growing from less than 3% in 1972 to nearly 40 million people (14% of adults) in 2025.
• The "Nones": While many join non-denominational churches, a higher percentage of former Catholics (56%) become religiously unaffiliated ("nones"). 

This data indicates that non-denominational, independent churches are the primary destination for former Catholics leaving for Protestantism.
