Several dozen tradition-minded Roman Catholic theologians, priests and academics have formally accusedPope Francis of spreading heresy with his 2016 opening to divorced and civilly remarried Catholics.
In a 25-page letter delivered to Francis last month and provided
Saturday to The Associated Press, the 62 signatories issued a "filial
correction" to the pope — a measure they said hadn't been employed
since the 14th century.
The letter accused Francis of propagating seven heretical
positions concerning marriage, moral life and the sacraments with his
2016 document "The Joy of Love" and subsequent "acts, words and
omissions."
The initiative follows another formal act by four tradition-minded
cardinals who wrote Francis last year asking him to clarify a series of
questions, or "dubbia," they had about his 2016 text.
