Encouraged by the words spoken by Jesus to the Apostles ‘All you need to say is simply 'Yes’ or 'No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. (Mt 5,37)’, We have decided to publish and distribute a brochure entitled ‘Responsibility of Bishops for the Universal Church in Times of Confusion’.

The recent document 'Fiducia supplicans’ promulgated by the Holy See is causing a serious confusion regarding its interpretation, which raises the concern that the Church has entered a phase of major doctrinal and moral crisis. Our conscience shaped by the Catholic Faith cannot accept the permissibility of public blessing of homosexual couples. The moral evil of remaining in such a relationship cannot be blessed and no twisted explanations can justify the practice of invoking God’s name to bless sin. For this reason, as lay Catholics, we cannot remain silent, but stand in solidarity with those pastors of the Universal Church who have expressed their loud and clear opposition to 'Fiducia supplicans’.

Through the publication and dissemination of our booklet, we wish to support all the hierarchs of the Universal Church who care about the salvation of the faithful entrusted to them and who publicly defend them against the spread of errors, even as they originate from the Throne of St. Peter.

Therefore, guided by our fidelity to the Pope and the Bishops, we are concerned about the process of the so-called 'synodal way’, which aims, as a further consequence, to disintegrate the hierarchical structure of the Church established by Christ Himself and based on the authority given to Peter and the Apostles to care for the salvation of souls and the unity of the whole Universal Church through its exercise.

Only unity in Truth and Faith is the guarantee of the unity of Christ’s fold, the guarding of which Jesus entrusted to the Apostles and their successors at this very difficult stage in the history of the Holy Church.

For this reason, we want the study ‘Responsibility of Bishops for the Universal Church in Times of Confusion’ to inspire personal meetings between representatives of our initiative and local bishops, in order to prompt them to take action defending the hierarchical order in the Church and protecting the faithful from doctrinal confusion.
