Dear kosta50,
"I believe that if God lets Pope Benedict XVI continue his ministry he will truly be St. Benedict the Great, the Pope who re-united the Church. God grant it!"
Your optimism is consoling.
However, I don't believe that the schism will be healed before the Second Coming of Jesus.

Dear sitetest, your pessimism is disheartening. The Second Coming will be to judge the living and the dead (that's what yours and mine Creed says). If we wait until His seocnd coming, it may be a little too late, imo.
