Sounds like there are a lot of schisms within the Catholic church.

Not exactly.

A schism is a separation from communion with the Church. As it stands, I, as a Latin Rite Catholic, have no problems worshiping with my local Ruthenian or Maronite parish and they have no problems worshiping with my Latin Rite parish.

The word “schism” is any division; it isn’t a Catholic-only term.
