Twenty-three Catholic scholars and pastors, three of them Oxford University academics, have given their names to a statement in support of “the four cardinals”, after the cardinals’ request to Pope Francis to clarify his apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia.
The scholars include Dr Robert Beddard, the former vice-provost of Oriel College, Oxford, Professor Luke Gormally, a member of the Pontifical Academy for Life, and Dr Nicholas Richardson, sub-warden of Merton College, Oxford.
Most of the 23 signatories also signed a previous letter to the College of Cardinals, asking them to request clarification of Amoris Laetitia.
