I’m trying to make a list of anti-Francis documents (like the filial correction) and books. If you would like to help, just add one, two, or three entries for the list in a comment. I don’t want any one person to take the time to make an exhaustive list, and I’m too busy myself right now to do it.
My intention is to write a commentary on each.

If you wanted to, you could probably add some entire websites to this list. OnePeterFive, perhaps?
Though that may be a bit extreme.
Here is one anti-Francis article I found: https://onepeterfive.com/the-church-is-a-mess-and-the-sspx-situation-is-driving-that-home/
I’m looking mainly for public documents that they ask people to sign.
Dear Ron,
Here are some possible documents:
Professors Finnis and Grisez on Amoris Laetitia:

The letter by Fr. Weinandy:
https://www.ncregister.com/blog/edward-pentin/full-text-of-father-weinandys-letter-to-pope-francis
A group of Catholics writing to the cardinals asking them to corrct Pope Francis on his teaching about capital punishment.
https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2018/08/an-appeal-to-the-cardinals-of-the-catholic-church
The appeal by Finnis and Grisez is at least civil and respectful.
The letter by Fr. Weinandy suggests Pope Francis might be guilty of the sin against the Holy Spirit.
The appeal to the cardinals against Pope Francis on the death penalty is insulting to the Holy Father because it is directed to the cardinals and not to him. It might be acceptable to ask Pope Francis in a respectful manner to address their concerns, but asking the cardinals to correct the “scandal” caused by the Roman Pontiff comes across as rash and presumptuous.
There are also the books Henry Sire and Phil Lawler that are very anti-Pope Francis.
These might not be what you are looking for, but I share them just in case.
God bless,
Robert
Yes, thanks, those are all the types of things I’m looking for.
Dear Ron,
I think this November 2019 petition against alleged acts of idolatry by Pope Francis might be what you’re looking for: https://www.contrarecentiasacrilegia.org/
God bless,
Robert
