I’m thinking the 4 good cardinals asking for clarification and now an audience with Pope Francis regarding the dubia are being rejected and ignored.

This seems like an agenda posting. How does this relate to the homily the Pope gave? Maybe I just do not get the point. Here is a part of the Gospel of the day:

What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light;
what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.
And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul;
rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy
both soul and body in Gehenna.
