The Secretariat for
Communication of the Holy See has blocked access to a petition
accusing Pope Francis of heresy in his 2016 document Amoris
Laetitia - The Joy of Love, sources said Monday.
The website with the petition, www.correctiofilialis.org, can
be reached, but it cannot be signed from inside the Vatican.
The petition is linked to a 25-page letter by conservative
Catholics delivered to the pope in August last month issuing him
a "filial correction" - a measure they said was being using for
the first time since the 14th century - over the document, which
opens up the possibility of divorced and civilly remarried
Catholics receiving communion.
Among the signatories is Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, the former
president of the Vatican bank, the IOR.
The letter accuses the pope of seven "heretical positions
about marriage, the moral life, and the reception of the
sacraments, and has caused these heretical opinions to spread in
the Catholic Church".
