Thank You For Your Support!

Dear Brethren in Christ, My name is Steve Skojec, and I am the author of this petition. I write to you this afternoon somewhat astonished by what has transpired in less than 24 hours. I wrote an article (see attached) about the Filial Correction yesterday. Upon sharing this article on social media, requests began coming in for ways that the faithful could also sign something to show their support of the correction. With the understanding that it was the intention of the authors to restrict the original "correctio" to priests and lay Catholics working in the academic disciplines of theology, philosophy, etc., so that their effort would be seen as one created by those trained in the important distinctions necessary to make such a formal effort, I quickly drafted this petition, designed to be something any Catholic, no matter their station, could sign as a show of support for the official effort. I shared it on my Facebook page as a draft, asking friends to look at it and see if they thought it was the right approach. Not long thereafter, I went to bed. By the time I got home from Mass today, the petition had been shared so many times that we are now nearing 2,000 signatures! This is truly a demonstration of your love of the Church and the passion you feel about the importance of this correction. A draft petition not yet intended for the public and never officially promoted in any way has already spread this far, this fast. Praised be Jesus Christ! So I have decided to simply move forward with what we have, and update as necessary. I have added the email address for the Vatican Press Office to the form, and created a letter template that can be sent by every signatory to that address. I hope that the sheer volume of emails will drive home the point that we will not go quietly away. If you see anything that seems out of place, please bring it to my attention. I pray that Our Blessed Mother and Our Sacred Lord will guide and bless this work, and that it will contribute, in whatever small way, to the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. In Christ, Steve Skojec
