Conservative Catholics Accuse Pope of Heresy; Say His "Joy of Love" Document Backs Heresy

More than 60 Roman Catholic theologians, priests, and academics have formally accused Pope Francis of spreading heresy after the pontiff opened the door last year to allowing divorced and civilly remarried Catholics to receive Communion, the Fox News website reports today (September 24, 2017).

In a 25-page letter delivered to Francis last month, the 62 signatories issued a "filial correction" to the pope -- a measure they said had not been used since the 14th century.

The letter accused Pope Francis of propagating seven heretical positions concerning marriage, moral life, and sacraments with his 2016 document titled "The Joy of Love" and subsequent "acts, words, and omissions."

Pope Francis has not responded to the accusation.
