Providentialism is a theological conception within the Pontifical Church which posits that the meteor impact on Terra of 2351 was an act of divine providence to destroy the fragmented denominations of Christianity in order to reunite the Church as a single institution again.
The concept, while not official dogma or church teaching, is widely believed by a majority of church members and has been promulgated by several pontifexes. It is often tied to messages about church unity and as a warning against factionalism and schism in the church, especially within the clergy.
