LETTERS:

The chronicle describes this event as follows: “When Vladimir returned to Kiev, he ordered that the idols be overturned, some of them be cut to pieces, others burned and that Peroun be tied to a horse’s tail and dragged
around the city. In the end, he let it be thrown into the Dnieper River.
The other day Vladimir and the Queen’s Byzantine priests appeared above the Dnieper River, where an innumerable multitude had gathered. They descended into water and remained standing there, some to the neck, others to
the breast, the youth standing in water by the riverside likewise to their breast, and still others holding their children. The priests were standing there praying, and one could see and feel joy coming from heaven and
spreading here on earth over the salvation of so many souls.”
On authority of apostolic and prophetical service conferred upon us by God and by the Church, we, the below-signed bishops, hereby publish that the Supreme Archbishop Card. L. Husar, on the basis of Gal 1:8, is expelled
from the Mystical Body of Christ, i.e. from the Church.
Your Eminence, by this letter “we implore You on Christ’s behalf: be reconciled to God!” (2Cor 5:20)
If You die as an apostate, You will be eternally condemned! You will soon know that eternal condemnation is truly eternal in spite of the fact that You deny this reality. We pray for You. What is here at stake is Your soul,
our Church and Ukraine!
The influences that come to Ukraine and Russia from the West are negative. To the forefront of the UGCC such leadership was installed that brings in the spirit of apostasy from the West and exteriorly disguises itself
with so-called Eastern spirituality. The centre of apostatic formation is the so-called Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU) in Lvov which transplants heresies and the spirit of apostasy from the West. This university is
linked with the Theological Faculty in Olomouc (Czech Republic) where Western heretical theology gowns itself in so-called Eastern spirituality. This is very dangerous not only for Ukraine but for Russia as well.
It is a paradox but the solution for us today is to become united even with the Patriarchate of Moscow or Constantinople provided that one or the other accepts the primacy of the Roman Pontiff ex cathedra. This is more
advantageous for us than to remain under the rule of the apostate hierarchy of the UGCC and of the dicasteries with an antichristian spirit. Unless we separate, we will lose the saving faith, Christ as well as our soul.
“The Church is built upon the apostles and prophets” (cf. Eph 2:20).
Who is and who is not a true apostle – this shall be known by the fruit. Does the work of this or that apostle bear the fruit worthy of penance? Does this apostle preach Christ’s Gospel and does he open the souls to
the Spirit of Christ, to the spirit of truth and repentance? Or does he open them to the spirit of the world, to the spirit of heresy, to the spirit of New Age?
The true prophets must defend the foundations of faith and witness to the true and living Christ by their word and life. They must have the Spirit of Christ, they must be Christ’s witnesses – martyres (cf. Acts 1:8).
These are most needed in the Church nowadays. This is the true “standard” built on truth and humility and not on intellectual pride and lie of Satan’s servants who lead the souls into eternal perdition.
In order to escape rightful punishment, i.e. removal from the office of head of the UGCC, Card. L. Husar is going to drag our whole Church – by means of the so-called patriarchate – into apostasy in which he has
already fallen himself.
We are therefore calling S.O.S. For this is not only a question of the being or not being of our martyrish Church but also of the spread of apostatic infection throughout the Eastern Church. And the aim here is to block
true spiritual awakening in all Ukraine and to implant the spirit of New Age and death instead.
At 9 am the solemn Divine Liturgy started; thereafter Card. L. Sandri spoke about the need of a patriarchate and praised the apostate Card. L. Husar as a holy man and a father.
After the Divine Liturgy Card. L. Sandri had a meeting with priests. There he said that the patriarchate ought to have been granted as far back as 20 years ago. By this statement he revealed that his view was diametrically
different from the Pope’s.
Along with the apostate L. Husar You decided to consecrate T. Senkiv a bishop on 20th July 2008. We warned You that this candidate for bishop is a heretic; however, You did not respond to it at all.
We announce to You in advance that unless You prevent the consecration of the mentioned Husar’s candidate, You thereby testify that You are the same heretic as Card. Husar and his “chosen” candidate. From the moment of
unlawful administration of episcopal consecration You excommunicate Yourself from the Mystical Body of Christ – the Church – and that even publicly.
Your Eminence, during Your visit to Ukraine these days (11th – 15th July 2008) You are not dealing with the most important issue of the UGCC, i.e. deposition of the apostate Card. L. Husar.
On the contrary, Your acting and gestures of unity with him testify to Your participation in his apostasy. Unless You dissociate Yourself publicly from card. L. Husar and his heresies, God’s anathema automatically falls
on You as well.
When quoting CCEO can. 1059 §2 You purposefully omitted the substantial complement in the text: “except in the case of an appeal” and You likewise purposefully added in the text that can. 1059 §2 is allegedly
ineffective in the supreme archiepiscopal Church! This is an evident lie and Your crime! On the basis of this deceit You sent our appeal to an incompetent court!
It is punishable that You commit it purposefully, with the intention to deceive us, and that You do not want to allow the Holy Father to legally judge the apostate Card. L. Husar.
You shall answer for this letter in the hour of Your death, and for all eternity You shall reap the fruit of Your decision! You will either choose Christ and true faith, or remain under the influence of the spirit
of apostasy and of the system maintained and represented by the apostate L. Husar.
On behalf of Christ and on behalf of the martyrs of our Church we put two questions to You:
1. Do You renounce the unity with the apostate Card. L. Husar?
2. Do You renounce his seven heresies?
Unless You answer, it will mean that You boycott this challenge and remain in unity with L. Husar and his heresies.
If You do separate from the heresies, then with great pleasure we wish to cooperate with You in the spiritual renewal of our martyrish Church and Ukraine.
Saint Vladimir is a pattern for us, for all Ukraine and Russia how to break with all forms of paganism and superstitious practices. He smashed, cut and burned all idols (cf. Deut 7:5). And today this must be done in
all Ukraine and Russia!!!
St. Vladimir disgraced Peroun and finally threw it into the Dnieper River; this is an example for us too. Various Buddhas, Chinese, Hindu, African and other idols, talismans and miraculous stones must be disgraced and
thrown into the Dnieper River! This is the condition for the renewal of baptism.
Your Holiness, a well-known priest Tomas Halik, an apostate, was allegedly appointed by You as “Honorary Prelate of His Holiness”. The responsibility for this
dishonest action falls on Cardinal M. Vlk.
How hard it is for us to persuade God's people that You are not in spiritual unity with these apostates and that it is all manipulation by the Church intriguers.
By means of dialectical manipulations T. Halik asserts that Christianity and buddhism are basically equal ways to salvation. He was publicly warned several times
about his heresies. Card. M. Vlk likewise was invited several times to exhort and punish him by the authority of his office of ordinary.
The reality is such that neither the Cardinal nor the apostate priest took the warning seriously.
Both Card. M. Vlk and T. Halik have already expelled themselves from Christ’s Church. So they are dead members of the Catholic Church, even though they continue
unlawfully occupying the Church offices. We therefore publicly before the whole Church point to both these apostates and hereby make their apostasy public.
On authority of apostolic and prophetical service conferred upon us by God and by the Church, we, the below-signed bishops, hereby publish that the Catholic priest
Tomas Halik, on the basis of Gal 1:8, is expelled from the Mystical Body of Christ, i.e. from the Church.
On authority of apostolic and prophetical service conferred upon us by God and by the Church, we, the below-signed bishops, hereby publish that the Catholic
archbishop and Cardinal Miloslav Vlk, on the basis of Gal 1:8, is expelled from the Mystical Body of Christ, i.e. from the Church.
Dear Mr President, we hereby announce to You that Cardinal Miloslav Vlk and Prof. Tomas Halik are no longer members of the Mystical Body of Christ – i.e. of the
Church – as they have excluded themselves from there through their apostasy. On this day (29th June 2008) we only make this reality public to all Christian world.
We, four bishops from Ukraine, hereby call You to repent in relation to the field of faith: it concerns above all the historic-critical method in theology (HCT)
and syncretism.
Covert and systematic liquidation by the spirit of death today is, unfortunately, abusing even the Church structures. These are the heaviest blows for the genuine
Christians, Catholics. Fight where You are, it is worth the effort. Every Your tear and every “Our Father” will once bear their fruit.
In the Catholic Church the institution dominates the Spirit. The Church lives a life of formalism, statistics etc.
The Spirit of God in Slovakia may be raised to life only through repentance and conversion to Jesus Christ. This means resurrection of the message and spirit of
Cyril and Methodius.
Many years have passed since I heard bishops, true catholic bishops, preaching the Truth, the Truth of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the only Truth that saves souls.
You take a very strong stand and you don’t compromise with error, you don’t embrace the errors or practices of revolutionaries. Oh the Church needs you!
Very very much! And not only in the Ukraine!!
This whole system of Feng-Shui is tied up with pagan magic practices and with false faith focused on a number of absurdities through which man is deceived, bound
and promised false happiness and false prosperity. It does not say a single word about eternity, conscience or morality. One only speaks about spirituality, about
harmony with so-called “ch’i” energy, and that according to yin and yang philosophy. It is a whole system of lie. Certain objects are attributed spiritual power.
Those who are just superficial Christians let themselves be deceived by these massmedia-advertised practices.
Card. Husar does not want to repent. Instead, he is turning to the state bodies (SBU – State Security Committee) and abuses the Church court to expel the orthodox
Catholics from the Church. The bishops of the UGCC make unity with him (some for fear). On 15th June 2008 we therefore challenged the UGCC bishops to dissociate
themselves from Card. L. Husar and his heresies. Unless they dissociate themselves from him and his heresies, they confirm that they are apostates too.
The curse according to Gal 1:8 applies to Card. L. Husar. Unless the biblical demand for separation from him is respected, the curse will come down upon the entire
territory, i.e. even upon the innocent people who by influence of this infection lose the saving faith.
By his heresies Card. L. Husar has excluded himself from the Church on the basis of the Scripture (Gal 1:8). Therefore nobody can obey him any longer.
This fact – covert apostasy of a cardinal of the Catholic Church – is just made public by us.
There will either be a spiritual awakening through the divine truth which we defend here, or the self-destruction of our Church will continue. The UGCC will become
either a blessing or a curse for whole Ukraine! The UGCC will be a blessing if the bishops separate themselves from Card. Husar and receive Christ’s Gospel and
Christ’s Spirit.
In case these bishops continue to plot against us, using various intrigues, processes and trials, we declare in advance that these carry no weight either before the
Church or before God.
We are not cursing them according to Gal 1:8, we just state in the name of the Triune God that as apostates they are no longer members either of the Mystical Body of
Christ or of the Church and they call down God’s curse upon themselves.
It is necessary today to clearly show who belongs to the living Church organism – Body of Christ – and who is outside it. We, four bishops, are persecuted for
faithfulness to Christ. Those who persecute us (Card. Husar and the Church circle united with him) thus prove that practically they have neither the same doctrine nor
the same Spirit as we do. So they can profess and swear before the Pope even thousand times that they are faithful to the Catholic teaching, but their persecution of
the living Christ speaks for itself. Their heart and their deeds reveal that they are heretics and enemies of Christ and His Church.
The Eastern tradition has it that a bishop who is a heretic – apostate is thus de facto excluded from the Church and therefore cannot confer divine grace;
consequently, the more so cannot he pass on the apostolic succession through episcopal consecration.
Can Card. Husar who publicly preaches heresies validly consecrate new bishops and ordain new priests? Is such ordination or consecration valid?
From the above-stated it follows that the consecration of bishops and ordination of many priests in the UGCC is dubious (Lat. dubius).
We then have no other choice but to state that as a result there will be two UGCCs in Ukraine, an apostate one with the spirit of New Age and an orthodox
(truly Catholic) one with the Spirit of Christ.
What will happen when Ukraine will have two UGCCs? Nothing will happen. Ukraine has three Orthodox Churches (Moscow, Kiev and Autocephalous Ch.), besides them she may
also have three Catholic Churches, namely Roman-Catholic (Polish) Church, apostate UGCC, and truly Catholic UGCC.
The biggest obstacle to unity will be the apostate UGCC; supposing it continues abiding in impenitence towards God, that means in apostasy, its end will be decline.
Every bishop nowadays must renounce the spirit of HCT and false respect for pagan religions. For this is a different gospel which was not preached by the apostles.
For this false gospel they are under the excommunication latae sententiae, or anathema, in accordance with Gal 1:8. Through this different gospel the apostate bishops
put the whole diocese, for which they are responsible, under a curse. And this is the biggest crime. A bigger crime than Stalin’s gulags or Hitler’s concentration
camps, because this leads to the loss of divine life and to eternal death.
We too have this unity at heart, but we perceive that the efforts towards it are abused by many for promoting false unity (globalization, unity of New Age)
which omits the foundations: conversion and repentance.
We understand Your pain, but for us too it was painful to state this truth hidden for many people, that Focolare is a sect inside the Church.
Your Excellency, the tragedy of Myanmar after being ravaged by cyclone shakes everyone who hears about these events. It certainly is admirable that in this natural
disaster mutual help became more manifest than human egoism. However, it is very painful that Your commentary on the tragedy of Myanmar sounds as if salvation of souls
was of no concern.
We were quite offended at the fact that You as the apostle of Christ did not recognize in this catastrophic event a chance of an alarming call into the whole world:
“Be converted, repent, receive Jesus! There is salvation in noone else! Now is the acceptable time, now is the day of salvation!”
Our service to the Church was to clearly express that the Focolare is not founded on truth but that this movement avoids the spirit of truth and repentance.
Therefore one cannot speak here about true conversion or following of Christ. That the Focolare is covertly directed by Freemasons we neither deny nor claim.
But what we do claim publicly is that the Focolare is a sect inside the Catholic Church.
Card. L. Husar and some members of the UGCC Bishops’ Synod have fear of just and objective settlement of the whole critical situation in the UGCC.
In order to circumvent the Holy Father they arranged a monstrous process.
On 2nd, 3rd and 4th June 2008 the tribunal pronounced lawless sentences stating that we were guilty and that we had to be excluded from the Catholic Church.
We are very glad that this made-to-order judicial process took place. For now we can officially lodge an appeal directly for the attention of the Holy Father.
If the Holy Father resolves to treat the problem juridically, it will not go without pronouncing a just sentence on Cardinal L. Husar.
Your Holiness, we have turned to You with an appeal against an unlawful trial. We know that in our case it costs You great heroism to stand against the whole
system which we, the powerless, have stood against, wherefore we also received episcopal consecration in extraordinary conditions. We submit to You again our
consecration for Your approval as well as our service in the Catholic Church.
Your Holiness, if You allow Card. L. Husar and the system installed and represented by him to illegally excommunicate us, it will be an injustice.
A just duty, however, is to punish Card. Husar with excommunication and likewise to punish the bishops of the UGCC for covering and concealing his heresies.
The Church is built on the apostles and prophets (cf. Eph 2:20). If the hierarchy (bishops) exclude the prophetical office from the life of the Church
by liquidating so-called undesirable people, the consequence will be self-destruction of the Church and then God’s punishment or “Babylonian captivity”.
The whole illegal monstrous process and sentence passed upon us, four bishops, begins as follows: “In the name of the Holy Trinity. Amen.” This sentence was endorsed by these judges:
Mykhailo Palij, Vitalij Tokar, Oleh Kaskiv. They acted at the instance of Card. L. Husar and Bishop M. Koltun.
By their judicial crime the above-mentioned persons have called down a curse upon themselves when they abused God’s name and authority by declaring:
“In the name of the Holy Trinity. Amen.”
The Church is separate from the state so the state cannot deal with the internal issues of the Church to the detriment of the other part.
Mr. Nalyvaychenko, we believe You are a just and honest man who adheres to the laws of Ukraine. We ask You to stop the injustice against us the defenceless.
Each of us, common believers, is convinced therefore that a true spiritual shepherd, who watches over Christ’s flock, has a single thing at heart – that God not
take from them the prophetical voice and the earth be not smitten with a curse (see Mal 4:6).
We supposed therefore that the bishops of the UGCC would be the first to lift up their pleading voice to the Holy Father for our four bishops in the prophetical
service to be included in the official structure as soon as possible. That would be normal – provided that they have the same goal: defence of the Gospel.
And what happened? They filed a lawsuit against the Pidhirtsi bishops! That is not normal! Those who defend the Catholic faith are judged therefor in the name of
the Catholic Church.
This lawsuit against the Pidhirtsi bishops witnesses to internal betrayal and apostasy from the Catholic and orthodox faith of all those who participate
in this pseudotrial.
Your Holiness, we are in interior unity with You and we pray for You that You may bravely withstand this most important last stage of Your life and that You may
really be an instrument of God’s reform in the Church.
If You decide to begin with repentance and purification in Your own house, i.e. in the papal dicasteries, this purification will turn out to be most painful right here.
However, it is necessary to perform this purification, otherwise You will be like head without body. For Your service You need healthy and not infected members,
so that You may be able to carry out the needful reform of the Church.
On the days 23rd – 26th May 2008 Card. T. Bertone, State Secretary of Vatican, visited Ukraine. In a few days Card. L. Sandri, Prefect of the Congregation
for the Oriental Churches, is to arrive in Ukraine. Who invited him? With what purpose? Last month Card. L. Husar met with him in Rome and they agreed on the plan
and purpose of his visit to Ukraine.
The culmination of this visit will be the pilgrimage in Zarvanytsya on 13th July 2008 where Card. L. Sandri, “in the name of the Holy Father”,
will solemnly acknowledge the criminal system shielded by Card. L. Husar. One will then theatrically declare such phrases as if all crimes against our UGCC were
approved by the Holy Father.
The reform of the liturgy was vital and useful but it was not the most crucial problem. Unfortunately, this reform drained all strength and detracted attention
from the essence. However, this suited the spirit that usurped the rule inside the Church and now through spiritless managers is consummating the self-destruction
of the Church. Nowadays in our Eastern Church instead of performing the most needful reform there is this false spirit again sheltering itself behind so-called
purification of the rite. One does not deal with the most essential issue, which is the internal renewal of the Church, but excessively emphasizes the purification
of rite and the catchphrases about “true-Eastern spirituality”. However, in reality this is not “true-Eastern” but “far-Eastern spirituality”, i.e. spirituality
of New Age which encompasses all oriental religions.
A true icon is such that helps one to pray truly. This icon can only be painted by an artist who has the spirit of repentance and prayer, for whom prayer is
a daily living need and who really perceives the spiritual battle. The icon by such an artist is a living testimony, a living Gospel! But, unfortunately,
such icons are few. Modern icon painters, for the most part, just copy the icons which have already been painted. But unless they themselves live a true Christian life,
they only fill these copies with the poison of their worldly spirit.
The religious orders do not live, they just eke out. Only few sincere souls have been left who long for a reform, pray, suffer and hope for God’s miracle.
The state of our OSBM Order is no different. The chance of a reform is practically null, the ship is sinking but it does not pain anyone. But what is worst, many
not only are unwilling to change themselves but they do not even allow an alternative, an opportunity for those who desire to live earnestly!
Today is the time for the renewal of the Church to come through reevangelization. Dear father bishops of Slovakia, start the evangelization, return to the roots
of the faith and salvation, open Yourselves for the Spirit whom our spiritual fathers Sts. Cyril and Methodius had!
How to begin?
1) Prayer foundation
2) A reform in seminaries
3) A reform of parishes – celebration of Sunday
The Focolare has another Christ, a different spirit and a different gospel (cf. 2Cor 11:4). The evidence of it is the fact that the Focolare has never defended
the fundamental truths of faith and morals but is doing quite the opposite!
If for false love and unity sin is not called sin and the truth the truth, Jesus then cannot be the only and exclusive Saviour and the only Way to salvation.
The Focolare introduces the spirit of New Age into the heart of the Catholic Church.
In these days You are coming to Ukraine as representative of the Vatican, and therefore You have to deal with the situation in Ukraine concretely.
What are the basic requirements placed on You?
1) To withdraw Card. L. Husar.
2) To stop the consecration of T. Senkiv and to enable us to perform an orthodox Catholic formation of priests.
What was the reaction to the letters from UA 9/2008 containing the review of the book on so-called postconfessional Christianity? The response to several
exposed heresies was Card. Husar’s turning in secret to state organs of Ukraine with a demand for our deportation.
Head of the UGCC, Card. L. Husar, whom we publicly convicted of heretical teaching (see our last letters on www.community.org.ua), instead of repentance
turned in secret to the head office of SBU (secret police of Ukraine) in Kiev and demanded our deportation from Ukraine.
Your Holiness, You are well aware that our accusation by Card. Husar is an extremely serious matter, because we have convicted him of heresies for which he
should be excluded from the Catholic Church.
What a paradox. He who should be excluded from the Church, and ipso facto already is excluded, wants to abuse the Church to deceive the Ukrainian state and by
help of state organs wants to deport us who have not committed any trespass either against the Church or against the state.
We are able to prove in a simple way that we have not committed any trespass either against God or against the Church or against the Ukrainian law or against
the Ukrainian state. Our so-called crime consists in the fact that we have publicly convicted Card. L. Husar of a heretical teaching contradictory to the fundamental
truths of the faith. Instead of repenting or turning to his superior in Rome – i.e. to the Holy Father who in this situation is the only person competent to solve
this internally ecclesiastical controversy concerning the most essential truths of the faith – Card. L. Husar turned to You and to the organs of state power and
demanded our deportation! He thus violated the freedom of religion and conscience and abused his authority.
Your Excellency, we sincerely turned to You because we supposed that what both we and You have at heart is Christ and the spiritual renewal of Ukraine,
and that was also the reason for our request for a meeting with Cardinal Bertone. Instead of mediating this meeting You sent secret police. Your act is similar to
Herod joining Pilate. Why did You not simply tell us: “Cardinal Husar and his people, who defend the Cardinal’s heresies, bring great pressure to bear against you
so as to prevent Your meeting with Cardinal Bertone. I do not have the courage to uphold you against this pressure.”
I fully endorse Your accusations against the Cardinal (L. Husar) for his non-Christian statements (heresies).
The plight of honest Christians is tried everywhere. But the Lord will be always with the ‘Little flock’. This is our belief and strength.
Your Eminence, immediately after we learned that T. Senkiv had been appointed a bishop, we sent an urgent message to the Vatican, warning that T. Senkiv
maintains heretical attitudes and therefore it is necessary that his appointment as bishop be withdrawn and his consecration cancelled! The response to our
warning was an official public proclamation of T. Senkiv a bishop “in the name of the Holy Father”.
The current form of choice of a new bishop is absolutely inappropriate since it is secret and those who really know the particular candidate, i.e. priests
(for he is a priest) and religious (in case of a monk-priest), have no opportunity to warn of a serious obstacle and, as the case may be, to prevent the consecration!
This system of election is one of the causes of the current crisis of the Church!
The Word of God expressly says that what pagans sacrifice they sacrifice to demons. For instance, the goddess Kali was offered human sacrifices – children.
Similarly, the Aztecs during a ritual murder cut out the heart of a living man and sacrificed it to demons.
What are the concrete fruits of Nostra aetate? It is uncritical openness for paganism and for the spirit of death. The Merieux Institute in Lyon in France “processes”
17 tons of bodies of unborn children daily and “exploits” them as material for cosmetic industry.
On the other hand embryos of animals are protected against similar procedures by law. This is a typical feature of this spirit of pagan worship. An animal is
valued more highly than a human and even worshipped as a god.
Dear bishops and priests of the Church in Slovakia,
we send You a letter from Ukraine on the occasion of the state as well as Church feast of our Slovak apostles of faith, Sts. Cyril and Methodius (5th July 2008).
Along with You we are making a stop at the historic crossroads where it is being decided whether the process of apostasy from Christ and from the saving faith will
intensify or we will see the spiritual resurrection of the heart of Europe, that is of the historical Velehrad – Slovakia.
The key to resurrection is conversion and repentance.
Dear Msgr. Babjak, we, four bishops of the Eastern Church UGCC, are forced to respond to Your insolent lie stated in the circular of the new Greek-Catholic
archbishopric; May 2008 № 12. Here You publicly declared a lie, that we are excluded from the Catholic Church.
Soon after Your consecration we painfully persuaded ourselves that You have a habit of a liar. Now, after Your promotion and after Your false statement we must
add that You have earned a new title: archliar Jan Babjak SJ. The fact that this title was not granted to You for free is testified by Your public statement in
the circular mentioned.
The question of energies is very topical for the nowaday believers. One has to clearly distinguish and point to the substance – what actually is the matter here,
otherwise it will result in great confusion and apostasy from the saving faith.
Card. Husar intentionally does not distinguish between the terms and tries to interconnect two incongruous things, namely the physical phenomenon of radio waves,
which are physically measurable, and so-called immeasurable (spiritual) energies.
In the Holy Scripture as well as in the Tradition of the Church the attitude towards so-called energies – demons – is definitely negative. In contradistinction to it,
Card. Husar assumes a diametrically different standpoint. This is a great sin, offence and apostasy from Christ!!!
Card. Husar claims that there is nothing magical about his divination by pendulum, that it is, as he says, just a wave swinging the pendulum to one or the other
side. This activity, however, is a grave sin and great offence and it completely disagrees with the teachings of the Scripture, of the Church Fathers as well as of
the whole Tradition.
The Cardinal reveals that he does not believe homosexuality to be a sin at all.
He does not point to Jesus, their Deliverer, he does not pray to the Lord for their liberation, he does not bind these unclean demons. Instead, he approves their
living together if they insist on it. Then as a new law-giver he allows them to perform sexual activity of whatever kind. According to him it is just a pity that
their “love” remains infertile. It appears to be mercy but it is the biggest cruelty – offering pity instead of the knowing of Jesus, the true deliverance and
salvation for the sake of eternal life.
In his book Cardinal Husar uses one-sided – heretical statements and pronounces two heresies. One concerns Christ and the other concerns the Mother of God.
The Cardinal did not point here to the substance, i.e. to the fact that Mary was also a Virgin, full of grace, who gave birth to God. One-sided emphasizing of
the natural aspect and concealment of the other – spiritual one – is a heresy. Mary was not just a common woman, the same as Jesus was not just a common man.
She was always a Virgin, she was conceived without any stain of original sin and she did not commit any sin in her life. Jesus was not just a common man but He is
true God and at the same time true man.
Venerable bishops of the UGCC,
- we ask You to deal with the most serious problem and that is the public proclamation of heresies by Card. L. Husar.
- we also remind that in the event that You excommunicate us the innocent, we shall be forced to do the same.
- supposing You give freedom to the Holy Father to incorporate us in the Synod of the UGCC and thus to change the spirit, God can give us spiritual awakening
and resurrection.
Reincarnation:
- denies the first article of the Creed: “I believe in one God, the Father ... Creator...”
- denies the Divinity of Christ and His redemptive death on the cross.
- denies the immortality of our soul.
- denies sin.
- denies eternal life in heaven.
- denies the eternity of hell.
- is connected with relativism which denies good and evil, truth and lie.
- relieves man of responsibility for this life by offering him a false chance of reincarnation after death! This is a big deceit!
We are living and suffering members of Christ’s Mystical Body and we defend the fundamental truths, without which the Church is the Church no longer.
Today the Eastern Church both in Ukraine and in Russia celebrates the glorious Resurrection of Christ. This year we also commemorate the jubilee of the baptism
of Rus-Ukraine by St. Vladimir in Kiev.
Through baptism we were immersed in Christ’s death and received new life (cf. Rom 6:3-4). We are to renew this God’s life in us through the celebration of Sunday –
the Day of Resurrection. The spiritual resurrection will come only after every Christian opens himself to Christ’s Spirit!
In the present time it is being decided whether Ukraine and Russia will open themselves to the essence of Christianity which will bring a spiritual renewal,
or whether they will open themselves to decadent streams which destroy spiritual and moral values of the individual and society. Unless Christianity in Ukraine opens
itself through repentance to the Spirit of Christ, it will turn into a merely marginal minority in a new antichristian society. Only renewed Christianity may renew
both the individual and the whole nation. Such Christianity will then give a clear meaning and goal to human life and will likewise give the power and the means of
obtaining true happiness and salvation.

- Card. Husar’s antagonistic attitude towards episcopal consecrations
In the book “Discussions with His Beatitude Lubomyr Husar – On Postconfessional Christianity” (ISBN 966-8197-10-0, Lvov 2006) Card. Husar says that he closes
his eyes when he has to admit the existence of hell and then adds a heresy that, as he says, “noone will go to hell for ever”.
He admits that evil spirits are in hell for ever but adds that it is hard to accept and that he does not wonder when people revolt against it.
The teaching of the Scripture and of the Fathers of the Church is diametrically different from the attitude of Card. Husar. He is completely silent on the necessity
of repentance and on Christ’s redemptive death. However, these are the essential conditions for us not to go to hell!
In the book “Discussions with His Beatitude Lubomyr Husar – On Postconfessional Christianity” Card. Husar presents his views on the primacy of Peter.
On page 57 he states that the Western Church views the primacy as expressed in the juristic formulation cum Petro et sub Petro (with Peter and under Peter).
However, Card. Husar says: “My own opinion is the following: cum Petro – yes, sub Petro – no.”
If we compare the misleading and vague statements of Card. Husar with the clear teaching of the Catholic Church on the primacy of the Pope we have to state that
Card. Husar does not profess this Catholic teaching and, in essence, he cannot even be said to be a true Catholic.
Your Holiness, the contemplative religious sisters of the Monastery of St. Elijah the Prophet take the liberty to write to You as those who honour You
as the Vicar of Christ on earth, yearn along with You for the renewal of the Church of Christ and are witnesses to the current events in Ukraine.
By openly standing on the side of Christ in this time as well as by openly standing against the current heresies (historic-critical theology and respect
for other religions), the Pidhirtsi bishops have already decided their fate – to them to live is Christ, and to die is gain. To condemn them means
to take a side with heresy and ipso facto to exclude oneself from the Church. Should the Church condemn them, she would thus decide her own fate.
Dear editors of The CN, we have received some notice from Slovakia that in Your news there was mendacious information purposefully printed which gravely
damages our reputation. To the whole Catholic public of Slovakia You officially brought false news that we had been excluded from the Catholic Church.
They informed us that in accordance with the Slovak law Your criminal offence falls under the penalty of 5 million Slovak crowns. Therefore now we publicly
demand hereby that within the justice You recompense for Your misinformation by fully printing our letter addressed to the Holy Father Benedict XVI, wherein we
clarify to him the whole issue.
You wrote that we had been excluded from the Catholic Church. This false information You officially printed without having a corresponding legitimate official
document. For the fact is that no such document exists and we continue to be members of the Eastern Catholic Church. According to the Eastern Code, the only person
who has the right to judge us, four bishops, is the Holy Father. And he has not done so!
On 26th March 2008 You published on Your web site the article titled: “Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Head denounces pseudobishops”.
Let us first raise a question: Who is a true Catholic bishop and who is a pseudobishop? The one who confesses and defends the orthodox Catholic teaching is a true
bishop. The one, however, who obscures it and shelters heresies and heretics is a pseudobishop. We openly defend the true Catholic teaching unlike Card. Husar who
does not defend it and even denies it.
What spirit is in the UGCC? If there was the Spirit of God here, we would have no problems. But we do have problems owing to the very fact that we do not want to
submit to the spirit of apostasy, to the spirit of betrayal of Christ.
Already by its very name and by its enumeration of religions on its web site the Religious Information Service of Ukraine reveals that it ignores the substance
of Christianity by ranking it among pagan religions. By assuming this position the RISU editors condemned themselves and revealed themselves as apostates and traitors
of Christ and His teaching.
The Church canon 1436 CCEO is laid down against those who distort the fundamental truths of the Christian faith. The punishment of a major excommunication,
i.e. exclusion from the Catholic Church, is imposed on those who fully opened themselves to this spirit of apostasy.
The punishment applies to the representatives of UCU and RISU as well as to Card. L. Husar by whom both these anti-Christian structures in Ukraine are shielded.
What makes us unhappy here as well as after death is the poisoned root in our soul, so-called original sin, or old man. The only Saviour from sin and from
eternal perdition is Jesus. The condition of salvation – the loss of soul for Christ’s sake (Mk 8:35); the biggest obstacle – the spirit of pharisaism (Mt 16:6).
Virgin Mary showed her love for the Ukrainians particularly on 26th April 1987 – the day of the first anniversary of the Chernobyl catastrophe.
On that day the Holy Virgin appeared on the territory of the former Soviet Union, namely in the village of Hrushiv lying in the Lvov region.
In Hrushiv the Mother of God also told several messages in which she first of all addressed Ukraine, the first nation in the world that was consecrated to her:
"...Ukraine was the first country to recognize me as her Queen and I received her under my patronage. Work for God, for without Him there is no happiness and noone
can win God’s kingdom. Ukrainians must become apostles for Russian nations, for unless Russia is converted to Christianity there will be a third world war.”
Your Holiness, this year the Ukrainian nation will celebrate the 1000th anniversary of Christianization of Ukraine by St. Vladimir in Kiev.
The President of Ukraine expressed his wish to worthily commemorate this anniversary this year. An external gesture, if connected with a firm spiritual foundation,
can bring into all Ukraine the Spirit of God and a renewal not only of Christianity but of the whole nation, too.
You, Your Holiness, bear the highest responsibility for our Church, for her future spiritual awakening in Ukraine or for her stagnation or even liquidation.
When you will be saying your Easter greetings: “Christ is risen! Christ is risen indeed!” – remember your new bishops who are going to face a hard spiritual
fight for the whole Church, but first of all for the Church in Ukraine. Pray that on the pattern of the Good Shepherd they may be ready even to
lay down their lives for the sheep’s sake like their predecessors – the bishops martyrs. This fight decides between eternal life and eternal condemnation.
And therefore it is worth even the greatest sacrifices.
Your Holiness, Card. L. Husar has unlawfully usurped Your power and illegitimately excommunicated us, four bishops, whereby he has stood against Your authority.
We as successors to the apostles have warned of the reasons for which Card. L. Husar should be excommunicated:
1) as a heretic – for trespasses against the substance of the faith (can. 1436 CCEO).
2) as a schismatic – for disobedience to You (can. 1437 CCEO).
Your Holiness, please, You Yourself solve the problem of major excommunications for the good of the Church.
We include here a canon (can. 1436 §1) which fully applies to B. Koubetch. On the basis of the Code of Canons of Oriental Churches B. Koubetch is
to be punished with a major excommunication, or exclusion from the Catholic Church, and thereby deprived of the office of General Superior of the OSBM.
The reason: The OSBM journal “The Missionary” publishes heretical articles denying the fundamental truths of the Catholic faith and systematically propagates
the heretical teaching of the HCT which in its essence denies the Divinity of Jesus Christ as well as the inspiration of the whole Scripture.
Two columns with the statues of saints – St. Joseph with the Child Jesus and the Virgin Mary – situated in front of the church.
Since 2005 one can observe an unprecedented phenomenon on these statues. The statue of little Jesus, whom St. Joseph holds in his arms,
began to turn visibly white (a process of self-restoration) and simultaneously, the same happens with the forefinger of St. Joseph pointing
at the Child Jesus, notwithstanding the fact that the whole statue is made of the same material. Everybody who visits this pilgrimage place
is a witness to this God’s miracle.
Card. L. Husar issued a hasty declaration by which he excommunicates us, four bishops.
By this act Card. L. Husar
a) boycotted the competence of the Holy Father;
b) boycotted the canon law (can. 1060 §1 CCEO).
This concrete case has revealed the true spirit of Card. L. Husar and of the whole system which he represents.
Your Eminence, please, inform the Holy Father of this situation and You Yourself order Card. L. Husar to wait obediently
for the settlement of the situation by the Holy Father!
You are obliged to defend the Canon Law, the interests and competence of the Pope and to work towards unity of the Church.
Unless You stop this illegal action of Card. L. Husar and his people, You will carry with him all the responsibility for his revolt against
the Pope and for the division of the Church.
Action Card. L. Husar and his people, by which he practically wants to pronounce excommunication and to force priests to interpret his statement
of 23rd March 2008 as excommunication, is illegal and expresses disobedience to the Pope.
On 23rd March 2008 Card. L. Husar issued an official announcement (a so-called pastoral letter) of the UGCC in the matters of us four bishops.
By his so-called pastoral letter Card. L. Husar publicly expressed his disobedience to the Holy Father.
For about two hours Bishop M. Koltun tried in some way to penetrate into the church among the believers and to read out the so-called pastoral letter.
This letter is practically a public manifestation of a rebellion against the Holy Father. By this gesture Cardinal L. Husar as well as Bishop M. Koltun
have already rejected the jurisdiction of the Holy Father! Thereby they de facto created a temporary personal diocese with the centre in Pidhirtsi,
subordinated immediately to the Holy Father.
Your Eminence, certainly You can understand that in such a serious matter, which has an impact not only on our UGCC but also on the whole Church,
we must uncompromisingly demand a private audience with the Holy Father.
You understand that we cannot react to any decrees from the papal dicasteries, even if they were signed by the Holy Father.
Bishop Pavel Posád was withdrawn from the diocese of Litomìøice. This bishop was exposed to great pressure on the part of the leadership of
the Czech Bishops’ Conference. The ÈBK disguised their dishonest and mean activity with the authority of the Holy Father, who was allegedly concerned
to remove Bishop Pavel. Bishop Pavel asked for a private audience with the Holy Father; however, through intrigues of the ÈBK he was precluded from achieving it.
Afterward it was mendaciously stated that “after a careful consideration the Holy Father made a resolution and it is necessary to obey him”.
How can the ÈBK state that our announcement of secret episcopal consecration is a “serious false promulgation”? What witnesses and what arguments do they have for this? How can the ÈBK state that we are no bishops and at the same time that for a non-existent act we are thus excluded from the Catholic Church?
This is a contradiction!
However, the reality is that the excommunication is illegitimate, whereas our consecration is legitimate!
Out of many positive reactions we mention at least some, namely from the Melchite Catholic Patriarchate in Damask, from a Maronite and an Orthodox priests
and from the generals of the Ukrainian National Resistance (УПА).
All of these are focused on the substance, that is a true spiritual renewal of Christianity and true unity in Christ.
This picture – icon – expresses several deep mysteries with which every Christian is connected through faith and holy baptism.
- The reality of sin
- The mystery of baptism
- Crucifixion with Christ (cf. Gal 2:20; Rom 6:6)
- Christ’s testament
- Christ’s death
- The name Jehoshua – Jesus
When asking about the sense of the law stated in the canon code which prohibits consecration of a bishop without the consent of the Vatican – the answer is:
To prevent consecration of a heretic, schismatic, apostate, homosexual... However, if observance of this law leads in practice to the exact opposite,
which means that right such men are consecrated, while men who are moral, orthodox and faithful to the Holy Father are not consecrated,
the prohibition stated in the canon law has lost its sense and turned harmful to the Church.
Our programme is the same as was with the Apostle Paul – to preach Christ in season and out of season, to be a witness to Him for fallen-away Christians
as well as for neopagans, to be ready for chains and even death for Christ’s sake.
Venerable fathers of the Bishops’ Synod of UGCC, we thereby announce to You that according to the prescribed liturgical observances we were duly
consecrated Greek-Catholic bishops of the UGCC (Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church).
We announce to You that we proposed to the Holy Father that the monastery in Pidhirtsi be exempted from the Province OSBM and established
as an autonomous monastery of pontifical right.
In 2001, the book “How Stephen became Metropolitan” was published. The most forceful about it is how Metropolitan Stephen Sulyk,
both out of love for the truth and out of fear for the fate of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church (UGCC), discloses the backstage of the intrigues
of certain people and powers that managed to lawlessly usurp the rule in the UGCC. He is also one of the authors of the Memorandum.
Your Beatitude, for the good of our UGCC and for the sake of eternal salvation of Your immortal soul we hereby invite You
to honestly resign from Your office of Supreme Archbishop of the UGCC.
The only way to the spiritual awakening of the individual, family and nation is true repentance.
Our UGCC (Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church) has until this day not repented of opening herself to the spirit of betrayal that liquidated
our Church through the so-called pseudosynod in Lvov in 1946.
H.E. Bishop Sophron Dmyterko
H.E. Bishop Irynej Bilyk OSBM
H.E. Bishop Pavlo Vasylyk
Your Eminence, we are turning to You in the matter concerning settlement of the issue of hastened beatification of the deceased Pope John Paul II.
The tendency to quicken the process of beatification is usually justified by the public opinion and by the motto: the voice of the people is the voice of God.
What is the true voice of God as to this concrete problem? “Repent” – of great and public offence caused by John Paul II in Assisi.
Therefore we emphasize: this is not the appropriate time to beatify John Paul II because of the fact that he caused great offence to
all honest Catholics and also to all Christians – as the Orthodox so the Protestants.
Your Excellency, we congratulate You additionally on Your installation as new Metropolitan in the new Metropolitanate.
The first task You are facing is a reform of theological studies, an exchange of the spirit of liberalism for the Spirit of God,
an exchange of professors who implant in the students the spirit of atheism (HCT) and rob them of the last remains of the saving faith.
Your Excellency, we additionally send You our congratulations on Your election to diocesan bishop in the newly established diocese.
Your Excellency, God is giving You a chance and this chance consists in repentance. Become the first Focolare bishop who will take the reform
of the Church seriously, and that not in the spirit of Chiara, in the spirit of New Age, but in the spirit of true repentance! And start from Yourself!
Dear Mr President, we are additionally sending You our congratulations on Your election to head of the Czech nation.
Only a man who has great spiritual authority can use even evil forces to serve the good, but only if they are under the control of God’s reins.
May God grant You as well the true wisdom and divine power that You can bind the evil forces in our nation, that eventually they will have to serve the common good.
This anti-Catholic and anti-Christian portal is the speaking-trumpet of the priest-apostate Prof. Tomas Halik.
Who takes the responsibility for the fact that Prof. T. Halik as a priest-apostate still is the president of the Catholic students?
I, Michailo Osidach, born 1st September 1930, hereby affirm that in the time of illegality on 6th September 1989
I was consecrated bishop of the Greek-Catholic Church by the Metropolitan Volodymyr Sternyuk and Bishop Phylymon Kurchaba.
The consecration took place in Lvov, in the apartment of the mentioned Metropolitan in 30 Tchkalova Street.
What plays the crucial part in the reform of the Church is a right choice of new bishops.
False parameters in the choice of bishops have opened the Church to the spirit of the world!
The ecclesiastical circles pleaded the alleged spirit of the Second Vatican Council, according to which the candidate,
in the first place, had to be opened for the spirit of the world.
On October 17, 2006 we received a letter from the beneficiary association, wherein they informed us that they could no longer lend us whatever aid –
that means no financial aid for building repairs or for the support of our novitiate – in spite of the fact that all men and women religious in Ukraine
do receive such aid. There must likewise be no aid given to our old and ill sisters who suffered in the time of illegality and remained faithful to Christ.
Already for a longer time we have been exposed to certain discrimination on the part of state authorities.
The point is that 20 of our sisters do not have Ukrainian citizenship. The visa department in Lvov complicates their registration, referring to the Church.
We have a suspicion that in the background stands some Church authority. It would be a big shame on the part of the Church to abuse state authorities
by means of bribes and to unlawfully trouble our innocent sisters.
Your Eminence, we are turning to You with a reminder that You are not fulfilling Your primary shepherd’s duty.
The point at issue is that a key post in Your diocese is held by an archheretic, Prof. Tomáš Halík, and You have not been able
for a period of 17 years to warn the faithful against him or at least to reprimand him! We remind You that You thereby participate in the fruit of death
which his activity bears. You hypocritically or cowardly shield this activity.
The devil is the father of lie. The lie is a means through which he diverts us from both human and the divine truth and leads us to perdition.
The lie is not only in the world, but it is in us, too, who regard ourselves as believing Christians – not even conversion is sufficient to deliver us from it.
The only way out is to lose our soul for Christ’s sake!
As regards the bishops consecrated during illegality, among them is Bishop Josaphat Kavatsiv who was consecrated a bishop on 25th November 1980
in Karaganda in Kazakhstan. The consecrator was His Excellence Bishop Olexandr Khira.
Since Bishop Josaphat Kavatsiv is a truly Catholic bishop from the time of illegality,
Card. L. Husar did not permit to receive him in the Bishops’ Synod of UGCC.
Last month we wrote a request to non-Catholics, calling them to common prayers for the unity of all Christians (18-25th January).
The prayer request contained two pivotal ideas, namely – what is and what is not the true unity, in contrast with so-called ecumenism,
and next, a biblical and Catholic relation to the mother of Jesus. We have received several responses. Here we quote some of them.
At the invitation of the Holy Father the Bishops of UGCC (Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church) were unexpectedly summoned ad limina to Vatican.
Card. L. Husar in an audience with the Holy Father pleaded with the Holy Father in tears to grant him the title of patriarch. He did not do so.
If Catholic universities, theological faculties and seminaries nowadays obligatorily teach heresies,
the responsibility for this crime against the theology students and for the internal decay in the Church falls
upon the Congregation for Catholic Education.
We propose that Your Congregation elaborate an obligatory proclamation by which it shall prohibit Catholic religious from whatever practising
of modern psychologies or Oriental meditations.
At the same time we ask You to oblige all religious in their conscience to go through a spiritual recollection and thereafter through a formation
which would lead to the recovery of the religious life by way of actualizing the fundamental Christian truths.
Why do psychologies so systematically kill the faith? Because unto faith we attain not through our reason but through conscience,
through a confession: I have sinned. Only then can we see Jesus hanging on the cross and only then can we hear in our soul: “All your sins are forgiven”,
and get the assurance – He has received me, I am His. This way goes through conscience, whereas psychologies, the same as Oriental meditations,
kill conscience, remove the awareness of sin and thus rob us of the most precious thing – salvation which is only in Jesus Christ.
We suppose that the main reason for the visitation was the fact that next to our monastery an occult centre is under construction,
similar to the one near St. Andrew’s Church in Lvov. The solution is that the representatives of the Church – Card. L. Husar, Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop of Lvov
and Synod of UGCC issue a clear, binding and authoritative statement of the Church on magic and divination.
We are turning to You with a topical issue which defiles the Church and is a grave desecration of the most familiar pilgrimage place – Fatima.
We propose that the book of Anselm Grün “Im Haus der Liebe wohnen“ (To Live in the House of Love)
should be prohibited or at least that the believers should be warned against it, and that especially religious and priests!
This book does not lead to repentance, nor to pure God’s love, nor even to the love of neighbour.
It opens the soul to an unclean spirit and to the spirit of paganism.
Your Holiness, with sonly confidence we turn to You by an open letter with a request that we may be received by You in a personal audience.
Already for several decades prayers for unity of Christians take place every year from 18th to 25th January.
In relation to these common prayers and efforts, we are sending You two ideas:
1) of true unity in Christ;
2) of a true relation to the mother of Jesus.
Jesus is the truth. “If Jesus (the Son) makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” (Jn 8:36) However, the Lord adds a condition and that is:
to abide in His Word. “If you abide in My word… you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” (Jn 8:31-32) In order to abide in God’s Word,
first we have to receive Jesus and His word. If we have received Jesus and if we abide in Him, we are God’s children.
Jesus said: “Metanoite.” How in particular situations we are to change our way of thinking and believe in the Gospel is briefly shown in several model situations following.
If we are to change our way of thinking, we first need to realize that our natural thinking is wrong, whereas the thinking based on the Gospel is right.
We present to You an analysis of the critical view of so-called interreligious dialogue. This dialogue has blocked the true mission and opened
the door to an antimission inside the Church. Before God and before the whole Church we now declare: Historic-critical theology and interreligious
dialogue are nowadays the greatest betrayal of Christ and His Mystical Body – the Church. Therefore the only right solution today is the following:
to abolish the interreligious dialogue and to open the door for true reevangelization and mission.
Jesus said: “This kind of demons never comes out (of man) except by prayer and fasting.” (Mt 17:14-21)
These words are topical even today. Jesus is not speaking here symbolically but realistically.
Demons are not a mere symbol of evil but they are real spiritual beings.
Even the present-day pagans do not doubt the existence of demons.
They have personal experience with them. However, only few Christians have experience that Jesus heals today,
that His Word holds true even in the present time and that the living faith in His Word,
prayer and fasting bring not only physical healing but also liberation from different kinds of bondage – demonic slavery.
If we are to do the will of God, it is necessary that we know this will of His concretely.
It is not enough to know just God’s commandments, which generally show what is good and what is evil.
I need to know what in a particular situation is God’s will for me, providing that I am to choose between two or more good and permitted possibilities.
In the midst of this great hardship and spiritual crisis which Christianity is going through, there is hope of a revival, and that is in the first place the Charismatic Renewal (ChRe).
It should penetrate every Christian, every community, every religious institute, the whole Church.
Without the Holy Spirit there is no Christianity, without the Holy Spirit there is no Church.
The testimony in Jerusalem (in the Church) is the most difficult one. Even Paul the Apostle experienced this from the part of his own nation and from the false brothers (see 2Cor 11:24-28),
and mainly from the part of the Church hierarchy which usurped God’s authority. Even nowadays this authority is often used for killing Jesus’ witnesses!
As the motto for the World Youth Day in Australia (2008) the Holy Father has chosen Jesus’ promise: “When the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you shall be witnesses to Me (martyres) in Jerusalem… and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)
The condition to become Jesus’ witness (martyr) was and is to receive the Holy Spirit.
In the present time, when the awakening of the Church is to come, there is a need of renewed authority because the contemporary official authority no longer represents the Spirit of God.
This authority in the present time has lost its function, it has become inoperative, because in its name God’s life is being destroyed, Divinity of Christ denied, inspiration of the Holy Scripture denied, heresies preached and the Spirit of God systematically quenched.
The true and vital authority, which has the power of the Spirit, is represented by people whom today this official but God-condemned authority persecutes for true teaching and for true testimony to Christ.
These persecuted represent the prophetical authority which, however, cannot officially exist in the Church today!!!
In the present time, when we are waiting for a spiritual awakening – resurrection, all converted Christians need the shelter of the prophetical authority which will point to the foundations of God’s life and will protect them.
Life philosophy based on the Gospel actually is the wisdom which teaches us how to pass through this short life, which for the major part is a spiritual fight, so as not to lose eternal life.
In this fight it is being decided: we will either pass to eternal life or fall into eternal condemnation by God. Therefore this life philosophy – the wisdom of God – is vital for each man!
Unfortunately, the contemporary philosophies do not fulfil this function, they even do quite the reverse.
They purposefully deceive, they darken the true sense of human life and instead of true means they enforce false ones leading to destruction.
The fact that the present formation system also has certain positive elements is not the reason for its maintenance, for today it already fully leads to the self-destruction of the Church.
We need not be afraid of the reform; throughout the first millenium the formation of priests was not dependent on university education at all and yet it did an effective mission.
Moreover, the early Christians likewise had no philosophico-theological education and they were able to preach Christ, do a mission for His sake and finally even to lay down their lives for Him.
After many years of theological experiments, by means of which the Christian faith was literally contaminated by the heretical historic-critical theology, the present Pope Benedict XVI has written a book wherein he engages in a polemic with this theology and shows a true look at Jesus.
Why could the post-conciliar reform not make even the following steps within the process of true maturation?
1) Change the position of the priest so that he may unite with the people and celebrate the liturgy of the Eucharist facing the tabernacle – facing God – as it is in our Byzantine liturgy or as it used to be in the old Roman liturgy for whole centuries till 1970.
2) Why could in the front centre of the church not be a space separated by a veil, which would be reserved for the Eucharistic Christ and where only the priest could enter?
This is only a supplementation to the reform of 1970 in the spirit of the Second Vatican Council. These supplements are a mere continuation of the development which the spiritual need of this time requires. Moreover, there is a continuity here as well as a return to the oldest sources of the Tradition concerning the temple, which traces back to Moses.
Article 8 – the causes of Modernism
On 8th September 1907 Saint Pope Pius X issued an especially topical encyclical.
Today, after 100 years, it remains equally topical and has turned out to be a prophetical voice for the present time, too.
(Here, we will deal with the article 7 of this encyclical.)
Already for several decades there has been intense resistance to the encyclical Pascendi created by false spirits which parasitize inside Christianity and determine the public opinion above all in the Catholic Church.
Who would dare only to pronounce the name of Pius X – pope and a saint, the one would immediately be ridiculed as a conservative, an illiterate and a lefebvrist.
However, we on the contrary draw attention to this saint, do not care about this spiritual terror and particularly highlight the topicality of his encyclical.
This year it will be 100 years since the publication of the encyclical “Pascendi” which at that time started a recovery process in the Catholic Church.
Today the situation in the Church is similar in many aspects, and it is even much more serious than 100 years ago.
Your Eminence, Your Excellence, by this reason we ask You not to be afraid and to encourage the Holy Father Benedict XVI to make a similar reform as was made by St. Pius X.
If we look at adultery from the point of view of God’s Word, we can see that the root is in impure thinking and fantasy, the disposition to which is moreover given through pornography, impure films…
And therefore the sin is not only the impure act but even the fact that one consciously abides in impure thoughts.
Before God’s Judgement we will render accounts before the whole world even of these impure looks and thoughts.
In Islamic countries Christians are persecuted and killed, and here in Europe so-called Catholic Christians are opening the door for Moslems and giving them space for their mission.
We ask who bears the blame for it if not the Catholic Church because she has betrayed Christ and is not preaching the Gospel?
Rotten Christianity in Europe cannot exist any more! Actually Europe is now being captured without fight by Islam and by oriental religions (buddhism, hinduism)!
The mission of buddhism through martial art has spread so much that in Europe there is practically no more school in which the youth in the afternoon hours would not practise martial art tied with oriental philosophy and thus with apostasy from Christianity.
Unless the Catholic Church and above all her hierarchy and theologians repent and return to Christ, the Catholic Church on this territory will become extinct. In this case they falsely console themselves with the words of the Gospel: “… the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Mt 16:18).
Your Excellence, on internet we got acquainted with the “lineaments” concerning the 12th General Synod of Bishops whose main topic shall be: “God’s Word in the life and mission of the Church”.
The 15th and 16th points of the lineaments de facto state that without HCT it is impossible to correctly interpret the Holy Scripture. This statement we consider a substantial heresy in contemporary theology, which undermines the existence of whole Christianity!
In the 31st point of the lineaments it is stated that pagan religions have sacred books and that these contain grains of Word.
The Church must clearly define what concretely these grains are and what they are not, supposing that she is going to use the above-mentioned terminology.
Might it be right to call pagan writings “sacred books” if they deny that Jesus Christ is true God and the only Saviour and if they moreover contain magic, divination, spiritism, satanism, impurity and other immoralities?
If the Church hierarchy approves by its silence or propagates the historic-critical theology (HCT) and the false interpretation of Nostra aetate (NA) with the gesture in Assisi, it thereby publicly confesses that the Holy Scripture is not inspired by God and that the Lord Jesus Christ is not true God and the only Saviour.
The result is that such hierarchy thereby also denies:
1) the existence of the Church as such;
2) clerical and episcopal ordination as well as papacy;
3) the existence of their own office.
From religious superiors or professors at theological faculties instead of proclaiming the truths of faith and morals it is demanded just to watch and search whether there is still someone among their subordinates who has a living faith in Christ and in the Gospel.
They carefully search for those who refuse HCT, the respect for pagan religions and occultism.
Such believing Catholic today in the Church is practically put out of law...
In order to achieve career and a tribute of the world many of the hierarchs, consciously or unconsciously, involved themselves in anti-Church structures.
All who have opened to this spirit of the New Age and have become its instruments, whether they are Church or civil personalities:
actors, singers, artists, philosophers, pedagogues, politicians, doctors, businessmen and also representatives of the Church, teachers at theological faculties, men and women religious, superiors of religious orders, bishops, priests or common believers – by opening themselves to the spirit of the New Age have received the spiritual mark of the apocalyptic beast in their conscience and in their soul (cf. Rev 14:11-12).
What is that outward mark on hand and forehead is a mystery to many. If those who have the spiritual mark of the beast in their souls do not repent, break with the spirit of antichrist and if they do not receive Christ as their Saviour, they will afterwards receive without any resistance the outward mark, too, because they will see nothing bad in it.
True heroes and true models not only for the contemporary youth but for every man are the saints and martyrs. These fought with lie and evil both in them and around them and sacrificed their lives for the lives of others in order to save them from eternal death. They had pure love, the eternal and living truth, which is Jesus Himself. Present-day Christianity on the contrary propagates false peace, false love, false respect at the cost of betrayal of Christ and one’s soul.
However, God’s Word points at spiritual fight: “We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Eph 6:12)
The way out of the present catastrophic situation is only one – repentance – a true confession of one’s betrayal of Christ and of the Gospel, a return to Him, renouncement of the spirit of HCT as well as of the spirit of NA, receiving the Spirit of Christ and receiving Jesus as the only Lord and Saviour. No philosophies and no liberal theologies will save us, but only rending one’s heart before God, conceding in truth that we have for years been walking in the darkness of heresies and in a false light.
Through repentance one has to step out from this false way on the true way which is Jesus Himself. He is the Way but also the Truth and finally the Life, too. Other ways lead to death. These are the ways of lie and deceit.
Why are we writing? Because the believers are absolutely misorientated and Catholics today do not know what actually is the teaching of the Catholic Church and what faith leads to salvation!
Historic-critical theology and Nostra Aetate with the gesture in Assisi in their consequences violate and liquidate the existence of the Catholic Church as such, including her hierarchy. If we fight against historic-critical theology and Nostra Aetate with the gesture in Assisi, we are thus struggling for the salvation of the foundations of the Catholic Church and of her healthy structure, too!
The purpose of this letter is to point at the need of a new clerical formation founded on personal conversion,
on the receiving of Christ as of personal Saviour and Lord and on the following of Him.
So philosophy is no longer the basis of theological formation, yet only at the end of their studies
the students are shown a new life philosophy which is the fruit of personal experience of God and the following of Christ.
It was the same in the missionary practice of Paul the Apostle as well as of the early Christians.
At the beginning of the third millenium we are offered a way of return to the original sound sources of Christianity.
It is therefore not in vain when at the conclusion of the Sermon on the Mount Christ exhorts us to build our life on the rock,
which is He Himself. Building on the sand of human philosophies will end in a disaster (cf. Mt 7:24-27).
A) Diagnosis and the Last Things
B) Five methods of fight
C) How the spirit of antichrist works in the official structures of the Church.
That the reform of the bleeding body of the Church may be true and effective, it necessarily requires repentance from the part of dicasteries, cardinals, bishops, priests, seminarists, religious and movements, particularly in these two essential aspects:
a) uprooting of the spirit of HCT;
b) uprooting of the spirit of false interpretation of Nostra aetate (i.e. an uncritical and unbiblical view of pagan religions and their practices).
Why exactly these two points are so strategic for the accomplishment of the reform? HCT leads to an internal apostasy from the living faith to practical atheism. Nostra aetate then opens the door so that the unbelieving heart may be filled with another spirit and Christianity may thus be transferred to a new spirituality of the New Age.
Your Holiness, the whole Church today is waiting for Your declaration “ex catedra” right on these two most relevant issues.
The new formation is characterized as follows:
1) The requirement for admission is that the intending seminarist goes through a recollection leading him to conversion and personal receiving of Jesus as his Saviour.
2) The educational programme must not include historic-critical theology (HCT). Instead of it the students will be offered sound biblical theology based on the inspiration of God’s Word, and in this spirit God’s Word will be explained to them and taught.
3) It will be prohibited to propagate in the education the so-called interreligious dialogue with pagans based on the false interpretation of Nostra aetate.
4) Training up for discipleship.
5) Teaching and practice in practical apologetics actualized to current problems. That means learning to witness to the Lord Jesus and to the essential truths of the Gospel in front of those who do not know Christ and do not follow Him.
Nowadays through so-called postconciliar spirit, so-called biblical science (HCT) and through emphasizing of interreligious dialogue the spiritual state of the current clergy is critical.
The solution is not, as shown by the sad experience from the past, the abolishment of the celibate but the way of conversion, namely renouncement of the spirit of HCT and false dialogue and receiving in fullness the Holy Spirit who will guide us into the way of healing repentance.

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of publication of an extremely topical encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907-2007) of St. Pius X. Basilian fathers from monastery Pidhirci keep turning to the Holy Father Benedict XVI. so that he could publish a similar topical encyclical.
The reason is that the Church finds herself in a similar situation as at the beginning of the 20th century, yet now in a far more serious one.
Nowadays to become a true disciple of Christ the Christian must open him/herself fully to the Holy Spirit and become a true witness and a true martyr. Half-hearted Christianity which has opened itself to the spirit of the world leads to decay, death and eternal perdition. The true pattern of Christianity for us is the hundreds of thousands of martyrs, then the apostles, particularly St. Paul, and above all our Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
His word refers even to us: “When the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you shall be My witnesses (martyres).” (Acts 1:8)
The Lord through the prophet Ezekiel gave a promise: “I will give you a new heart… and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh.” (Ezek 36:26) So what He speaks of is a spiritual transplantation.
Where and how does the spiritual transplantation take place? The place is Golgotha. The first condition of this transplantation is spiritual light and spiritual cleanness. The second one is to be crucified with Christ – to become a disciple of Jesus. The new heart is a new Eve – Virgin Mary. This transplantation of the spiritual heart can be done only by God.
The morals have lost their fundament as well as their substantiation. Where it becomes evident most sensitively is in relation to the 6th and 9th Commandment - in the issue of moral purity. The only way out of this vicious circle is not to handle the issue of the morals atomizedly without linking it to the substance, namely to a living relation to Jesus.
Today the litmus-paper of the state of Christianity is the film in which Christ is morally vilified, and Christians are silent on it. It is a sign of loss of sensibility to the substance which consists in one’s personal relation to Jesus. As soon as the faith stops being a relationship and turns into a mere ideology or theological discipline, Christianity is practically non-existent. Jesus is now asking even you: “And who do you say that I am?” (Mt 16:15)
The mystery of the original sin can be understood only within the relation to Christ’s death and resurrection (Catechism of the Catholic Church 388). The Word of God points at two opposite polarities – Adam and Christ. He who abides in Adam is in death and in slavery. He who enters into Christ’s death has a new life and a true freedom.
In the present critical time a vital model of parish is to us the Church of
Jerusalem which received the Holy Spirit in fullness (Acts 2:41). This Church
was built upon four basic principles (cf. Acts 2:42) and upon the biblical gifts
and services. “God has appointed these in the Church: first apostles, second
prophets, third teachers…” (1Cor 12:28). The fruit of this was disciples! Jesus’
word of refers even to us today: “Make disciples (mathéutezate)” (Mt 28:19).
Following 1Cor 14:1-3, who prophesies speaks for 1) to exhort, 2) to encouragement, 3) to comfort.
Letter shows to renewal the prophetical service in the Church, without which Christ cannot live in the Church because the Church is built upon the apostles and prophets (Eph 2:20).
Love for the Church and pain over the state in which the Church has nowadays found herself force fathers from Pidhirtsi to turn to Your Holiness and at the same time to all cardinals of the Catholic Church.
In this letter they are bringing forward for Your consideration:
1) Analysis of the state of the Churэch 2)Project of a reform of the Apostolic See.
Abolishing the Vatican dicasteries and depriving the State Secretariate of its spiritual power! What would remain would be just the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith which would act as an auxiliary body of the Holy Father in fulfilling his charisma.
Therefore, in this hard time of the crisis of the Church we give the religious, the students of theology as well as the priests four one-hour models of interior prayer at their disposal.
They contain the most essential truths related to our salvation and to our unity with Jesus.
The moment of the separation of spirit – death – is expressed by Jesus’ cry: “Abba (Father)…!” In this moment His spirit leaves the body. This moment of death, when the spirit leaves the body and rests in the arms of the Father, is directly preceded by three words: 1) I thirst, 2) Eloi, 3) It is finished! (These three words lived through in the interior prayer may be compared to three stages of a rocket’s soar which enable it to separate from the ground. So that a cosmic rocket may soar and get out of the earth’s gravity, it needs to exert great force, and then it flies by itself.)
Jesus’ death was the hardest psychical and spiritual battle on our planet and at the same time in all universe. Here the power of sin, the demonic power, was broken. This moment is expressed in the word “It is finished”. In several seconds this expression was followed by a cry of death: “Abba (Father)…!”
Jesus, having accomplished His mission and having fulfilled the Father’s will, which He took for His own, in deepest unity commits His spirit into the arms of the Father.
The Lord Jesus said: “Could you not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray.” (Mt 26:40) Not one hour a week, a month, a year, but daily.
Some people cherish the sorrowful state of their soul for whole hours, whole days and even years. The way out is simple – to call: “My God – Eloi, Eloi…”
You will thereby gain experience of liberation by God. From a certain point of view our pains and problems are a blessing because they lead us to Golgotha where we gain not only liberation but even the eternal salvation and life.
In the present extremely heavy crisis and mass apostasy from Christ and from the Church it is essential
for us priests to accept biblical parameters for both our own and the Church’s renewal!
Let us found the celebration of the seventh day upon four biblical pillars (cf. Acts 2:42).
You, dear fathers, bishops and priests, propagate and actualize this firm foundation –
the celebration of the seventh day – of a true internal reform of the clergy that will bring
as a fruit the renewal of families, parishes, dioceses and of the Church.
Your Holiness,
now, before the birth of our Lord and Saviour, we send You our cordial greetings with sonly confidence and we thank God that You defend the foundations
of the Catholic doctrine against the system of lie which is working outside as well as inside the Church.
We were looking with pain at the danger of the alleged visit of the Dalai Lama of Tibet, which was to take place in Vatican on 13th December 2007.
We thank You for cancelling this visit.
Your Holiness, we are sending You a greeting with sonly confidence. We thank God that You are defending the foundations of the Catholic teaching against the system of lie which works not only outside the Church but also inside.
We came to hear that You are going to meet the Dalai Lama of Tibet next month in Vatican. Concerning this planned visit, we would like to present to You a few inspiring thoughts.
We beseech You, if You are already exposed to big pressures now, adjourn the visit for half a year at least and the situation will get changed.
Please, make at least this step of faith! God will then give You the light and the strength!
Your Holiness, hereby we have presented to You a proposal of a concrete form of repentance for the whole Church.
It relates to the experience of the healing effects of public penance, which was practised especially by the Eastern Church.
We believe that the unsolvable state of the Church will be solved by God through all-Church repentance lasting six years.
For the whole of this period there would be a prohibition against the celebration of the Holy Liturgy applying to all bishops and priests.
We believe that the fruit of repentance will be that the year 2014 will be the year of spiritual resurrection of the Church, and You will see it.
Your Holiness, we have turned to You with a very serious problem and that is abuse of obedience in the Church.
In the time of St. Basil the Great the majority of bishops fell away to Arianism, so they no longer believed in the Divinity of Christ.
Through false obedience they drew whole Christian territories in apostasy. Saint Basil therefore clarifies the question of true obedience:
“If someone orders something that is contrary to Christ’s teaching, do not pay heed to whether he is promising life or threatening with death, such one you must not obey by any means!
It makes no difference whether this order comes from someone of the apostles (bishops), even if it were the very angel from heaven, you must not obey! (cf. Gal 1:8-9)” (rule No. 303).
Historic-critical theology (HCT) denies the Divinity of Jesus Christ, His resurrection and the inspiration of the Scriptures.
This is apostasy from Christ and from the Church. If any priest or bishop has opened himself to this spirit of apostasy,
the faithful must no more be deceived by the fact that he holds office, and they must no more obey such apostates.
The Provincial Superior of a certain religious congregation in Ukraine set on her sisters a prohibition against whatever contact with us, the monks of the Pidhirtsi monastery.
The reason she gave for her measure was that we had committed a big crime since we had proposed if at least one of us might be appointed as bishop.
What to say to this: We confess before You as well as before the whole Church that we did commit this crime and we sincerely gave such proposal to the Congregation for the Oriental Churches.
Our defence: ...
Your Holiness, we would like to warn You before the whole Church that in Your name there are homosexuals being appointed and then consecrated bishops in the Catholic Church. These people are extremely active, cunning like serpents, they make unity with one another and by means of their lobbying they are able to forward each other to the key posts in the Church, which brings not only a total decay but also a curse tied with the punishment as of temporal so of eternal fire!
In these days there has already been the sixth homosexual consecrated a bishop in our Byzantine Church.
We also want to draw Your attention to the fact that in Your name orthodox (i.e. truly believing) people in the Church are being liquidated and in Your name the spirit of the New Age and of godlessness of the historic-critical theology (HCT) is being enforced here; however, all living and divine is being purposefully destroyed!
Those who have the greatest responsibility for the spiritual crisis in Europe and for the mass apostasy from Christianity to atheism, buddhism, hinduism, Islam… include the papal dicasteries.
Here the key posts are for the most part occupied by people with the spirit of the world, so in relation to the things of God they are blind and as a rule they do only things that liquidate the Spirit of God and thus even the spiritual life.
So that the conditions for the new Pentecost, for which the Pope prayed at the Council, may be created, today there must be a radical intervention made into the stiff and inoperative Church structures, and that in the first place into the Vatican dicasteries.
Secondly, there must be a radical intervention made into the formation and life-style of the new generation of priests. It is a paradox that a truly converted layman is able to witness to the living Christ better than a so-called spiritual professional after six or seven years of clerical and theological formation.
By the issue of the decree N. 141/05 of 8th June 2006 the Congregation for the Oriental Churches committed many serious deceits and lies. The matter is an artificially constructed process which is on the conscience of Roman dicasteries.
The responsibility for this artificial process fully falls upon the Secretary of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches Mons. Antonio Maria Veglio who acts in this way repeatedly and consciously.
Therefore simultaneously with this appeal I lodge a legal action and I require: That the Secretary Mons. Antonio Maria Veglio is deprived of his function and suspended from episcopal consecration.
The Lord Jesus said: “Could you not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray.” (Mt 26:40) Not one hour a week, a month, a year, but daily.
Some people cherish the sorrowful state of their soul for whole hours, whole days and even years. The way out is simple – to call: “My God – Eloi, Eloi…”
You will thereby gain experience of liberation by God. From a certain point of view our pains and problems are a blessing because they lead us to Golgotha where we gain not only liberation but even the eternal salvation and life.
Your Holiness, You are obliged before the whole Church and before God to say a clear word of the highest shepherd not only on historic-critical theology (HCT) but also on the wrong interpretation of Nostra aetate and of the gesture of John Paul II in Assisi.
Concerning Assisi, a mere explanation is not sufficient, but what is expected of You is public repentance of a big offence and misorientation of believers caused by John Paul II in the years 1986 and 2002.
If each priest followed John Paul II (and saints surely are to be followed by us, the more so the supreme shepherd) and meditated in his church with buddhists, |
