Pleas to the Pope

And, he's answered how many? ZERO!

Compiled from Twitter by @FishEaters

There's a thread on Twitter that's listing all the times folks have pleaded with, intervened, written dubia and letters and such to Pope Francis. Thought I'd compile them all here and try to link to the texts of all of them. Are there any we're missing here?:

    I suppose the latest open letter doesn't count since it was aimed at the bishops, not Pope Francis himself?

      Well, he won't answer, so we have to try something else.

      I meant for the list, does it matter that the letter was aimed at the bishops rather than the pope directly?

      Since he won't answer, the Bishops are our only hope.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
