Final Result of the 'Filial Appeal to His Holiness Pope Francis on the Future of the Family'
Contact: Gary Isbell, 914-656-6965
ROME, Sept. 29, 2015 /Standard Newswire/ -- This morning the "Filial Appeal to His Holiness Pope Francis On the Future of the Family" was delivered as a result of a signature campaign in 178 countries.
In view of the opening of the Ordinary Synod on the Family, the 790,190 signatories, including 202 cardinals, archbishops and bishops, ask Pope Francis to say "a clarifying word" to dissipate the "widespread confusion arising from the possibility that a breach has been opened within the Church that would accept adultery — by permitting divorced and then civilly remarried Catholics to receive Holy Communion — and would virtually accept even homosexual unions when such practices are categorically condemned as being contrary to Divine and natural law." Only an intervention from the highest authority can help the disoriented faithful to see through the confusion that has been created over the years and that has become much worse in our days.
This petition can be signed here.
The spokesman of this initiative, Tommaso Scandroglio, professor of Ethics and Bioethics in the European University of Rome commented that the "Filial Appeal" "has had widespread repercussions in the Italian and international press." He added "the repercussions in the mass media, the number of signatures collected and the number of personalities who have signed indicate that a substantial number of believers are very worried about certain theological tendencies present in the Church today."
"The initiative — according to Prof. Scandroglio — takes place constructively amidst the climate of discussion and dialogue regarding these subjects. An example is the handbook Preferential Option for the Family—100 Questions and Answers relating to the Synod, that has been distributed along with the collection of signatures. It aims to spread the teaching of the Catholic Magisterium on these matters. Tens of thousands of copies of the handbook, authored by three bishops, have been requested from all over the world."
Many signatories are leaders of pro-family and pro-life organizations from every continent.
