Not the right emotion -- but resignation and sadness that the great divisions between men will not be erased by "dialogue" or coercion, though coercion may nonetheless still be attempted.
I was thinking of the divisions between Apostolic Christians and Christians and Pharisees in particular, but divisions due to "identity politics" is in the back of my mind, too. Even if peaceful separation were possible, it probably wouldn't last long, as not everyone will embrace sustainable lifestyles as collapse proceeds. Rather, conflicts over resources will underlie any conflict between identity groups that have separated.
As for the various errors embraced by Rome to justify different pastoral strategies, I don't think they will be rectified soon, and until they area, reconciliation between all Apostolic Churches seems unlikely.
All we can do is trust in God, ask for His assistance in rectifying ourselves, and live charity (which includes the order of charity) towards those around us, while we work for the best possible solution while preparing for the worst possible outcome.
