MSW in his recent article on this issue ridiculed the signatories as a handful and as nonentities. The handful, 62 has risen to 146 at the last count.
Of course I know who Stephen Walford is, he's a piano teacher who writes books. He recently wrote a piece defending AL and for that he and his family got a private audience with the Pope. Pictures of them are plastered all over his FaceBook pages. Oh, and he numbers Fr Spadaro among his FB friends, that says it all. If MSW can dismiss 62 academics from around the world, I can dismiss a piano teacher's opinions.
