The Pope is pushing hard, and such a situation can't last for long. Either there will be a split or a revival.
Most of those people who would split are over age 60. They are the graying 50s and 60s generation. Unfortunately, because of their seniority, many of them are in leadership positions. But the Church is waiting them out at this point. When they pass on to their eternal reward (or not), things will begin to change for the better.
