How did the "dubia cardinals" accuse and respond to Pope Francis's *Amoris Lætitia*?

The Dubia Cardinals are publicly opposing and contradicting the approved Magisterial Teaching of Pope Francis like the Amoris Laetetia and [CCC 2267], the Fraternal Agreement with the Muslims, and also the "Instrumentum Laboris" a working document on the Pan Amazon Bishop Synod. [New Revision of Number 2267 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church on the Death Penalty “Ex Audientia SS.MI”](http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_20180801_catechismo-penadimorte_en.html) . Even criticizing the Magisterial Teachings as "false mercy". [Canon 752](http://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib3-cann747-755_en.html) and [Donum Veritatis](http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_19900524_theologian-vocation_en.html) guidelines are very clear but the Dubia Cardinals continues to ignore and violate this Church Canon and evangelical guidelines on all theologians seeking clarifications or expressing their dissent. Even Cardinal Muller in 2017 had warned the Dubia Cardinals not to go public in expressing their dissent. link; The card Müller: "Amoris Laetitia is clear in the doctrine, the dubia are of no use". [Il card. Müller: «Amoris Laetitia è chiara nella dottrina, i dubia non servono»](https://www.uccronline.it/2017/01/09/il-card-muller-fedele-alleato-di-bergoglio-e-di-ratzinger/) The two papal encyclicals coming from Pope St. John Paul II [Dives in Misercordia](http://w2.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_30111980_dives-in-misericordia.html) ; and Pope Francis Bull of Indiction [Misericordiae Vultus](http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_letters/documents/papa-francesco_bolla_20150411_misericordiae-vultus.html) . Pope Francis was inspired to open the Door of God's Infinite Mercy but the Dubia Cardinals are closing the Door of Mercy on LGBTQ and couples in irregular union, convicted criminals, and now on the Pan Amazonian indigenous people. St. John Paul II warn us of the false prophet or the wolves will preach the "anti-gospel". What is the gospel? Pope Benedict XVI said "the heart of the gospel is Divine Mercy" and Pope Francis in Misericordiae Vultus paragraph 12 said; >"12. The Church is commissioned to announce the mercy of God, the beating heart of the Gospel, which in its own way must penetrate the heart and mind of every person. The Spouse of Christ must pattern her behaviour after the Son of God who went out to everyone without exception. In the present day, as the Church is charged with the task of the new evangelization, the theme of mercy needs to be proposed again and again with new enthusiasm and renewed pastoral action. It is absolutely essential for the Church and for the credibility of her message that she herself live and testify to mercy. Her language and her gestures must transmit mercy, so as to touch the hearts of all people and inspire them once more to find the road that leads to the Father." > >Also, Jesus commanded all the Apostles “Be merciful just as your Father is merciful” (Lk 6:36) The Dubia Cardinals are opposing the very heart of the gospel and preaching the "anti-gospel" by uphelding the justice of God instead of the Mercy of God. Scriptures clearly teaches the "primacy of mercy over justice". >James 2:13 New International Version (NIV) > >"because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment."(James2:13) Thus my question is: **Are the Dubia Cardinals committing *"The Great Apostasy"* for opposing the heart of the gospel by closing the Door of Mercy citing the justice of God but ignoring the Infinite Mercy of God on all souls without exception as cited in paragraph 12 of Misericordiae Vultus?**

The Filial Correction petition on Amoris Laetetia filed by numerous priest, theologians and other lay person failed because they do not follow the evangelical guidelines of *Donum Veritatis*. In below article Cardinal Muller made a remarks; > "The defender of the right Catholic doctrine and of the people of God". With these words one of the main critics of the pontificate of Francis, the journalist Antonio Socci, rightly celebrated, some time ago, the current prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Ratzingerian Gerhard Ludwig Müller. Just last night, the cardinal Müller did his job and intervened (the video below) during the "Vatican Rooms" program of Tgcom24: > "a possible fraternal correction of the Pope seems to me very far, it > is not possible at this time because it is not a danger for the faith, > as St. Thomas said. *Amoris Laetitia* is very clear in his doctrine > and we can interpret the whole doctrine of Jesus on marriage, the > whole doctrine of the Church in 2000 years of history". The German cardinal Brandmüller has, however, stated that Burke did not speak as a "spokesman" of the set of four cardinals, but expressed "full autonomy in its opinion, which certainly could be shared as well by other cardinals'. In any case, he reminded his colleague that any "correction" will have to "take place in the *caritatis* room". So not publicly. A suitable warning, Müller himself explained: > "The cardinals have the right to write a letter to the Pope. I was > amazed because it became public, forcing the Pope to say yes or no. I > do not like this . It is damaging for the Church to discuss these > things publicly." - [Il card.
