text: Is Church Reform A Viable Option?
  
  Five hundred years of  Protestant Reformation has not made any substantial change in the way that Catholicism operates today. 
  
  Even the Vatican II Council/Movement resulted in significant backlash from the Vatican, with the Church identifying itself much more strongly as ROMAN Catholic in the past 30 years.  Influence gained by ultra-Roman Catholic $$$ support of Vatican, as well as that faction's growth in numbers ...alongside the disappearance of Vatican II Catholics & offspring...all make REFORM a far less viable option for change in the Church.
  
  ANOTHER OPTION APART FROM REFORM...RIGHT WITHIN CATHOLIC TRADITION
  The option of separate but equal Rites/Churches in union with each other and the Pope.  A unity in diversity solution to major differences of interpretations and practices in the Church since ancient times.  Had Luther considered this option as opposed to separation/schism, no Reformation or Counter-Reformation!  Google Rite Beyond Rome
