In view of the Synod on the Family to be held in October 2015 in Rome, a group of concerned lay Catholic leaders and pro-family organisations gathered to address a filial appeal to Pope Francis asking him to reaffirm categorically the Catholic teaching that divorced and civilly remarried Catholics cannot receive Holy Communion and that homosexual unions are contrary to Divine and natural law.

The group note with anguish how the chaste and fecund family model taught by the Gospel is at risk. The family model is the only beacon capable of guiding millions of faithful bombarded by a decades-long sexual revolution and its hedonistic propaganda.

Indeed a breach has been opened in the Catholic Church with pastoral proposals that deny in practice, if not in principle, Our Lord's doctrine on chastity and the indissolubility of marriage. 

In these circumstances, it is paramount that Pope Francis speak out to clarify the growing confusion amongst the faithful and to prevent the very teaching of Jesus Christ from being watered-down. 

Who else can dispel the darkness looming over our children's future should that beacon no longer light their path? 

Please sign up to support this on-line petition over at FilialAppeal.Org.
