The schism between the "Church" and Rome occurred long before the Reformation. The Reformation was in many way a restoration. The Roman Church organization had drifted far from the truths of scripture long before Luther nailed his papers to the Wittenberg Door. The Reformation was a rebirth of doctrinal purity and scriptural authority. If there is a schism in the Christian Church it is because the Roman Church heriarchy have not followed in the footsteps of the Reformers.
