What would a schism (or schisms, in the plural) do to the Catholic church, economy-wise?  What would happen, short term, mid term, and long term to the church's stream of income?  To the church's many missions?  And what would happen to the various church institutions with which we have become familiar?  Who would stand to gain, and what would who gain?  And the losses?  Schism has been the most common way of handling doctrinal differences and here*ie*. But can we afford another one? Now, or in the future?
