I have read them and they are quite answerable. The bishops have not requested a one word answer, but an appropriate answer could be as short as one sentence.

Amoris Laetitia itself, despite the misleading headline for this article, is not in question and no one is raising objections.

Nor is there the slightest evidence, either in their written letter nor outside the letter elsewhere, that one, two, three, or four of them are "angry".

Diametrically opposed interpretations of footnote 351 of the document, not the document itself, have been arrived at and disseminated, interpretations which are mutually exclusive, bear on three of the seven sacraments, raise issues as to the permanence of marriage, and leave the shepherds unable to communicate the intent of the Holy Father as a result.

May God bless the Church and its bishops united with the Holy Father as he is reminded of his Petrine role of confirming the brethren in all truth with charity.
