According to a report, since 2019 pro reform parties, believed to be composed of the laity and clergy have been pursuing change in the catholic church, said to be with particular regard to human sexuality, for instance homosexuality and priestly celibacy. Reportedly, local hierarchies in favour of current trends are challenging the view of the holy see which has reverted to moralising. Term local hierarchies may indicate councils of the laity, said to have a say. A schism may result from pro reformers insisting on liberalism and priests being allowed to marry.
