text: The Church has never really been a "monolithic" institution.  American RCs may like to think this way, but the Catholic Church has always been a collection of Churches.
  To suggest that Vatican 2 (because I guess that is what you are referring to), was an effort by anybody to "sow division" shows, to my way of looking at things, an incredible lack of knowledge about the history of Vatican 2.  
  Vatican 2 was not an effort to fundamentally change the Church.  To suggest that it was is to distort historical facts.  And to blame those who tried to update Church structure to help it function better in the modern world for the ills from which the institution suffers is beyond disingenuous.
