A collective letter entitled “Filial Appeal” has gained the signatures of around 90 prominent clergymen, intellectuals and authors around the world and has been submitted to the Vatican requesting the retraction of Fiducia Supplicans and its direction on the blessings of same-sex couples.
The letter, originally published on 2 February 2024, addresses senior prelates around the world and implores them to prohibit any blessings of “same-sex couples” as recommended in the recent declaration Fiducia Supplicans. It calls on bishops not to implement Fiducia and on the Pope to rescind it.
