text: This "Filial Correction" will implode under the weight of its own hubris. Its proponents claim they never really wanted bishops and cardinals to sign on. At the same time they announce that they seek a "moderated" list of signatories of "academics and pastors"; that is, people who they believe have "weight". Thereby they exclude the vast majority of ordinary Catholics. In short, they let you sign on only if they think you're worthy, and if you are more than worthy but refuse to sign on, then they say they didn't want your signature anyway. This strange set of conditions for who can and cannot sign smacks of clubby self-aggrandizement, desperate attention-getting, and the dim recognition that no one else in the Church actually pays them attention. Rorate-Caeli has in place a similar clubby self-aggrandizing policy, seeking only the writings of either traditionalist priests or European Catholics, under the assumption that only these kinds of people know what Catholicism is!
