For your ping lists.

[heterosupremacist]

Happy to learn the clergy is as upset as the laity...

[kindred]

Sola Scripturi. One God (the Father), one Faith (Christ Jesus is Lord), one baptism (the Holy Spirit). We who believe the Bible believe the truth and no man but Jesus Christ gives the truth to mankind. Therefore, we honor and worship none but Him, God the Son, as the one and only mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus who sits at the right hand of God the Father. None other but Him, the coming King of the earth who will reign in the land of Israel near Jerusalem, the city of the great King Jesus Christ our Lord, for 1000 years as the Revelation teaches. For us, their is no pope and Vatican, we enter into the throne room of God by the once shed blood of Jesus Christ in prayer and He hears us. Search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have life and they speak of Jesus Christ as the Way, the Truth, and the Life. All cults and other religions is devil worship and demon run, atheism being but one of many thousands of lies in the world..

the superiority of consecrated virginity over the married life

---

Wow.

[Mrs. Don-o]

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.

[heterosupremacist]

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...

[heterosupremacist]

Post # 4 ~ I’m not looking to try to be a wiseguy, and I refuse to get into the back and forth of our respective beliefs - that never solves anything.

I respectfully ask for your answer to this : If the Bible is the one and only source of your belief, can you show me where in the Bible do you find sola scriptura?

[annalex]

For us, their is no pope and Vatican

Speak for yourself.

[annalex]

Wow.

I say to the unmarried, and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I. But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry.

[...]

He that is without a wife, is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please God. [33] But he that is with a wife, is solicitous for the things of the world, how he may please his wife: and he is divided. [34] And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she that is married thinketh on the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

(1 Corintians 7:8-9,32-34)

[annalex]

technical and apt to be abused by the secular media

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.

We now know who signed:

Signers of document critiquing 'Amoris Laetitia' revealed

[ebb tide]

I’m pleasantly surprised that Rev. John Hunwicke signed the document.

[Mrs. Don-o]

It's good to see some familiar names: John Hunwicke of course, also Joseph Shaw of the Latin Mass group in UK, Luke Gormally (son-in-law of Elizabeth Anscombe), Dr. Rao from St. John's in NYC, Philip Blosser at Sacred Heart Seminary (Detroit), Mike Sirilla at Franciscan (Steubenville).

I think it's fair to say each of them represents dozens or hundreds of similar stature: teachers, colleagues, former students, the many whose intellectual and spiritual formation they have guided over the years.

This, finally, is good.

[ebb tide]

Not to mention, Msgr. Ignacio Barreiro of Human Life International.

[heterosupremacist]

Although I doubt ANTHING printed in the NCR ~ maybe we now know who didn’t sign? For example, Cardinal Timothy Dolan of the USCCB?

I will look into this and report my findings later...

[kalee]

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

It matters less who did not sign; most likely the authors reached out only to those they expected to sign. It is not an opinion poll.
