And yes, there is another split developing within the Church at this time, albeit at a much higher level in that this time it involves the pope. But faithful Catholics should be aware that the split (and potential schism) is among the “modern” Catholics who have blindly followed the false teachings of the Second Vatican Council. Traditional Catholics, who continue to adhere to the immutable doctrinal truths of the Church pre-dating Vatican II, are not involved in this food fight. Michael Voris and his team perform no service for faithful Catholics by suggesting that some of the “modern” bishops are following the “truth” on this issue. They may be right for opposing Armies Laetitia, but they’re far from correct on holding fast to Vatican II.

I agreed with almost all of your post. Where we disagree is that the split has included all of the popes since Vatican II, not just the current man sitting in the Chair of Peter. ALL of them preached, professed and enforced the false teachings of Vatican II to the entire Universal Church.

As for Michael Voris and his so-called "Church Militant"? Since he does not get the real issue and refuses to place blame where it belongs (Francis), he merely scratches at the surface.

You are correct. If I indicated otherwise I was wrong. Every pope since Pius XII were Modernists.

AS for Voris, I believe he does “get it” quite well; he just has elected to take a different path. Louis Verrachio of “akacatholic.com” (formerly “harvesting the fruit.com”) explained in great detail a while back how and why he “transitioned”. Those two were once close associates. Louie ha a great site. Very “Catholic” and intellectually challenging.

Thanks for your thoughts.
