** I see the various religious traditions of the world fractionalizing more and more as time goes on,**
That’s what is so wonderful about the Catholic Church. You can go to Mass anywhere, and even though the Mass might be in a different language and there might be a few local customs, the Mass is basically the same worldwide.
It used to be more wonderful, back when the Mass was in Latin and you heard it in the language that you had been schooled in no matter where you went. Vatican II was a disaster and it has not finished damaging the Church. JMHO
