The Catholic Church in the described setting has fragmented into three distinct groups. The first is the American Catholic Church, which has relocated to Cicero, Illinois, highlighting a focus on property rights and neighborhood integrity while maintaining traditional practices like the Latin mass and the patriotic performance of The Star-Spangled Banner during rituals.

The second group consists of Dutch schismatics who prioritize societal relevance but reject the notion of God. Finally, there is a small remnant of Roman Catholics, described as a scattered flock, who find themselves without a designated place or community to belong to amidst this division.
