I communicated by e-mail with the sole named author/signer Dr. Joseph Shaw --- joseph.shaw@philosophy.ox.ac.uk --- and asked for a copy. He said they haven't made the text public at this time for two reasons: they haven't yet sent it to all the cardinals, and it's quite technical and apt to be abused by the secular media, i.e. flagrantly misrepresented and misunderstood.

On the other hand, he said they are hearing news of an attempt to publish a version of it. He says "This may very well oblige us to publish the official version in the next few days. So then I suppose your question will be answered. If it doesn't, then perhaps we should return to this question."

So I'll let y'all know as soon as I know. I'll post up here on FR.

I agree: it's good to know that some of the clergy are very, very disturbed by the defects of Amoris Laetitia.

Post #6 ~ First, I want to thank you for taking the initiative. Second, “... and it’s quite technical and apt to be abused by the secular media, i.e. flagrantly misrepresented and misunderstood.”

We all KNOW it will be flagrantly misrepresented by the secular media, regardless of its contents.

wishing you and yours a blessed day...

That should not be a consideration. If the secular media reports that Catholic scholars consider the Apostolic Exhortation lacking precision and open to criticism, then that is good. That the media will put their own spin is granted, but the more they spin the more people learn to read between the lines and ignore the leftwing yapping.

I'll let y'all know as soon as I know

Please do.

I am curious about the academics who signed. Is there a list of them available? Any Americans on it?
