Catholic AnswerNo, the Catholic Church is incapable of splitting, when Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, established the Church on the apostle Peter (see St. Matthew 16:17-19) He guaranteed it until the end of the world and sent the Holy Spirit to guide it always. The Orthodox Churches left the Catholic Church in the eleventh century, and various heresies have left the Catholic Church over the centuries, most notably (in modern times) the protestant heresy in the 16th century.
