Response to the pastoral letter of Head of the UGCC L. Husar (part 2)

 

 <<<<<<<<<  (part 1)

 

Quotation: “... and all those who adhere to them expose themselves to danger of finding themselves beyond the visible bounds of the Church of Christ.”  

Response: One who is in conscious unity with Husar’s apostatical UGCC leadership does not expose himself to danger any more but is directly beyond the bounds of the Church of Christ. The question arises who will be saved and in what Church – in the orthodox or heretical one? There are many Catholics in parish registers who in the hour of their death will be condemned to eternal damnation because they are not living members of the Mystical Body of Christ and do not have the Spirit of Christ. They are just formal members of an outward institution of the Church. In other words, false allegations imposed by Husar, that only the one will be saved who is within the visible bounds of his structure, is a colossal lie. Jesus said clearly: “Unless you repent, you will all perish.” (Lk 13:3) Husar’s antigospel contradicts the gospel of Christ as well as the basic truths of faith and morals. Anyone who adheres to this antigospel and subordinates himself to it will not be saved.

 

Quotation: „Dear in Christ, even at the beginnings of the Church appeared those who wanted to destroy her. As early as the times of the Apostles, messengers of the Evil one were trying to split her and overcome forgetting the words of the Lord that the gates of hell shall never prevail against the Christ’s Church. Already St. Apostle John warned: ‘As you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come.... They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.’ (1Jn 2:18-19) And these ravenous wolves went from us pretending to be the sheep of Christ; however, they were not with us but just had come to steal, spiritually kill and destroy. (John 10:10)“

Response: This quotation is a model of the methods the antichristian spirit uses to kill God’s children through the very citations of the Holy Scripture... This method used also the devil in the desert when he attempted the Saviour Himself. Husar quotes a fragment from the Holy Scripture, which expresses an objective truth, but conceals that he who quotes it is no longer an apostle but a liar and an apostate (Rev 2:2) who betrayed Christ, preaches antigospel and on whom lies an anathema. So, he is outside the Church, and yet he continues pretending to be an apostle of Christ and illegally holds his office. Thus through the apostatical structure destruction of Christ’s flock takes place. This false apostle with the spirit of antichrist considers true disciples of Christ to be his greatest enemies. From the position of his usurped office he calls them what, in fact, he is himself – antichrists, wolves in sheep’s clothing... The spirit of antichrist makes himself manifest through his mediation by cunning lies, heresies and blackening which cause spiritual death. He declares the orthodox servants of Christ to be antichrists who have come. He, who has the spirit of antichrist himself, pretends to be a true servant of Christ and a true apostle. When he has managed to accomplish this confusion, he uses whatever God’s word as well as objective truth in the spirit of lie and subsequently invokes punishments on the orthodox saying that they are antichrists, and hypocritically calls them to conversion. He, who is outside the Church through an anathema pronounced in Gal 1:8-9, calls himself the Holy Church. The orthodox bishops and orthodox believers he terms as “messengers of the Evil one”. Who were those messengers of the Evil one at the beginnings of the Church? These were heretics who proclaimed a different gospel, had another Jesus and a different spirit (cf. 2Cor 11:4). It was them on whom fell God’s anathema (excommunication according to Gal 1:8-9). The apostle Paul calls them false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ and adds: “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” (v.14) The apostle John points out the coming of the Antichrist, and of many antichrists who work within the Church. Concretely, he says: “They all are not of us.” (cf. 1J 2:19). “They say they are apostles, and are not, but are liars.” (Rev 2:2). The official Church hierarchy falsely labelled Jesus as a deceiver and blasphemer and condemned Him to death. The same spirit of lie and religious pharisaism which worked in the past has especially recently been destroying the Church from within. It opposes Christ, His Gospel as well as the the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth. It is the spirit of antichrist which works in particular through the persons who hold power in the Church. These are apostatical hierarchs and contemporary theologians. What were the relations between Jesus and the then hierarchy and theologians? Jesus called them whitewashed tombs, brood of vipers, false prophets, wolves in sheep’s clothing. They mendaciously and in denigrating manner said about Jesus that He was insane (mentally ill), that He had a demon and that He worked miracles with the help of occult powers – in the name of Beelzebub, the prince of evil spirits. Jesus answered them that they thus commit sin against the Holy Spirit and that they will not be forgiven this sin any more. Similarly, in his pastoral letter Husar says, that we were messengers of the Evil one, antichrists, ravenous wolves who pretend to be the sheep of Christ and that we had come to steal, spiritually kill and destroy. All this does not apply to us but to him who is under God’s curse for public heresies. On the part of Husar, the sin against the Holy Spirit is that he abuses the authority of God’s word – statements of Christ and His Apostles – in order to defame Christ’s true disciples and through lie to kill Christ in the souls that he deceived at first. Through the mediation of Husar and his structure the spirit of antichrist morally kills Christ’s shepherds who for the sake of salvation of the sheep fight to the death with ravenous wolves who preach heresies and are dressed in sheep’s clothing of pious phrases and in expensive liturgical vestment. According to the words of the Lord Jesus (see Mt 12:31), L. Husar and his adherents will never be forgiven this sin!

 

Characteristics of the antichristian time

 

Antichrist will act as the true Christ, label the true apostles as antichrists and incite deluded believers against them, the result of which will be as Jesus foretold: “The time is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.” (Jn 16:2) This is a sign of extraordinarily suggestive lie connected with the preaching of antigospel and antivalues. Husar knows well that the Church is undergoing great crisis. Nowadays, there are many antichrists who occupy Church offices. The Pope has neither power nor means to stand up against them overtly and depose them from their offices. That is why they shield themselves with officialdom and even with the unity with the Pope, though they themselves deny this unity by their activities and concrete statements. If Husar was in unity with the Pope, he would also have to be in unity with the orthodox teaching of Christ and with all the orthodox. However, he denies this teaching, proclaims a different gospel – antigospel – and persecutes the orthodox. We have remained faithful to the orthodox Catholic martyrish Church and therefore we separated from Husar’s treacherous structure and established the orthodox Greek-Catholic Church united with the Pope. She is the true heir of the Ukrainian catacomb Greek-Catholic Church. The UOGCC has dissociated herself from Huzar’s heresies. Husar abuses an excerpt from the Scriptures against us: “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us.” The mentioned excerpt by no means applies to the orthodox Church and her relationship to Husar’s apostatical structure – rather the contrary.

 

“And these ravenous wolves were of us pretending to be the sheep of Christ; however, they were not with us but just came to steal, spiritually kill and destroy.” (Jn 10:10)

 

Quotation from Jn 10:10 is twisted and relates not to us but to the apostates and the UGCC leadership. For the time being, none of the ravenous wolves from the apostatical structure has resigned his office and gone out from them. As heretics they continue in their ravenous programme: stealing, spiritual killing and destroying (Jn 10:10). Only some of them went out from the martyrish Church but were not of the orthodox martyrish Church. Others, after the Greek-Catholic Church had come out from catacombs, sneaked in her from the U.S. in order to steal, kill and destroy. As early as 1992 this heretical leadership from the West (Dr. Datsko) began systematic liquidation of the orthodox Catholic sisters. At the same time, this leadership launched elimination of all orthodox practices in the whole UGCC. “The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy.” They started to abolish the cult of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and thus also regular monthly confessions. They started to forcibly introduce the use of the word “Orthodox” in relation to the Greek-Catholic believers during the Liturgy, prohibited the faithful and the clergy from praying the Way of the Cross and the Rosary, started to lift the faithful from the knees to receive Holy Communion... They began to eliminate all practices that enliven faith and thanks to which the believers remained faithful to Christ during Communism, when the Greek-Catholic Church was underground. If besides these practices they would introduce appropriate forms of piety which would renew faith even further, it would be a contribution to the spiritual life of the Church. They, however, took the spiritual bread away from the believers, as a consequence of which many faithful spiritually died, some fell away to Jehovah’s Witnesses and for the young generation remained just folklore without the living Christ.

 

Quotation: “Therefore, dear in Christ, gather around Your legitimate shepherds.”

Response: We emphasize that Husar came to power in the UGCC illegally (see the Memorandum of Archbishop Sulyk) and now when he holds it, he abrogates God’s laws through heresies. Priests – the so-called legitimate shepherds – are subordinated to him and cannot oppose his heresies, let alone to officially stand for Christ and orthodox teaching. They know that otherwise they would be persecuted and, as the case may be, even suspended. Husar is forcing them to read mendacious pastoral letters and to act against their conscience. If they do otherwise, they are punished. For the time being, they have not had the possibility to get out of this heretical structure. To prevent any such possibility, Husar puts pressure on the state authorities so that they would not grant state registration to our UOGCC at any cost. This means that the priests and the faithful are not given the possibility to separate from heresies and officially to transfer to the orthodox structure which has separated from all Husar’s heresies, preserved the saving faith and is the true heir of the martyrish orthodox Church.

 

Quotation: “...beware that no one leads you astray and spiritually kills you...”

Response: By his heresies Husar leads the believers astray and spiritually kills them. It is really necessary to beware of him.

 

Quotation: “Examine carefully those whom You do not know and who will come and introduce themselves to you as Catholic bishops or priests. For every legitimate priest has a certificate from his bishop and every Catholic bishop is registered in the catalogue Annuario Pontificio issued by the Holy See.”

Response: It is time for the believers to examine carefully those who will come and introduce themselves as Catholic bishops or priests. Two years ago, the whole UGCC hierarchy voluntarily united with Husar’s spirit of heresy and when they were publicly called on to confess the Catholic faith and renounce heresies – about which was informed even the Holy Father – they did not do so. They remained in heresies and thus they drew God’s curse upon themselves in accordance with Gal 1:8-9. Therefore it is necessary to examine all priests who were ordained priests in the period from 3rd August 2008, because they are not priests even though they have certificate of ordination. These “priests” celebrate liturgies invalidly, confess invalidly and administer sacraments invalidly except for holy baptism. Husar makes a sheep’s clothing of the catalogue Annuario Pontificio. He betrayed Christ, received the spirit of heresy and now is destroying Christ’s flock and abusing authority which he usurped (see archbp. Sulyk – “Memorandum”). Even if his name was written in the Annuario thousand times, it would not remove God’s anathema from him. He does not have the saving faith and teaching any more and does not lead people to salvation but to perdition. Therefore, examine carefully everyone today! There are priests who are suffering under the rule of heresy and often they must act against their conscience but they do not unite initiatively with the apostatical structure and spirit which is behind it. However, there are also priests who have opened themselves to this heretical structure, internally united with it, actively fight against the orthodox Church and actively promote heresies. Beware of them, do not be gullible and do not open Your hearts to them because these apostatical priests will rob you of your living and saving faith. Therefore examine! The fact that a priest smiles and flatters does not mean that he has the Spirit of Christ. On the contrary, it can be a trained apostate who has the spirit of death.

 

Majority of those who hold high positions in Husar’s apostatic structure are internally united with heresy, which means that they are apostates and the question arises whether they celebrate Liturgies validly and whether they validly administer confessions. Examine such priests!

 

Quotation: „Do not allow the Enemy to sow hatred and anger in Your souls. Let us pray together to Almighty God that in His boundless mercy He may protect Christ’s flock from ravenous wolves and grant the seduced souls, who have fallen into the clutches of the sect of the Dohnalites, the grace of conversion and reconciliation.“

Response: Husar’s pastoral letter sows seeds of hatred and anger in the human souls. It is absurd to add after having read or heard it: “Do not allow the Enemy to sow hatred and anger in your souls.” It is hypocrisy to destroy God’s flock by heresies, demoralization, occultism, promotion of homosexuality, questioning Christ’s Divinity as well as eternity of hell, and yet regard oneself orthodox Catholic. And even greater hypocrisy is to call the orthodox Catholics, who have nothing in common with heresies, ravenous wolves. The UOGCC is the true heir of the martyrish orthodox Catholic Church. Husar pejoratively calls her a sect. This is a lie, a criminal offense of public denigration and a sin against the Holy Spirit. It is necessary to pray; however, not for the salvation of the orthodox who are following the secure narrow way leading to salvation but for the salvation of those who are following the broad way of Husar’s heresies leading to eternal perdition. When talking about some clutches, it refers to the heresies of the apostatical UGCC leadership which do not permit anyone to become converted and follow the secure way leading to salvation.

 

On 26th December 2010 during Intercessions all the priests had to play a tragicomedy according to Husar’s scenario:

„Lord, Lord, in Your very great mercy You do not want the death of a sinner, but that he be converted and live. You Yourself now have mercy on false prophets who have fallen away from Your Holy Church and on all those who have joined them. Send forth Your Your enlightenment on them from heaven and grant them salvatory repentance so that they might recognize their sin, be converted and become partakers of Your grace. Reconcile them with Your Holy Church. We beseech You, hear us and have mercy.”

  

Response: The whole prayer is a model of how the antichristian spirit works –it uses orthodox language and expressions to destroy human souls. The devil in the desert also quoted God’s word in a different spirit, and he does so through his servants even today. The aim is to deceive the believers and keep them under the sway of heresy and in the slavery of sin. Husar’s apostatical structure “calls” to repentance and conversion but, in fact, it suppresses and eliminates true repentance and conversion. This is the main sign of the spirit of antichrist. In his intercession: “Lord, Lord, in Your very great mercy You do not want the death of a sinner, but that he be converted and live”, Husar calls an orthodox Catholic a sinner. His conversion means that he has to betray Christ and submit to Huzar’s heresies. True shepherds, who lead people to salvation in Christ, Husar calls “false prophets who have fallen away from the Holy Church”. Husar calls himself and the apostatical prelates who are already outside the pale of the Church “the Holy Church”.

In the intercession he does not turn to God, but in the spirit of antichrist he “begs” for “enlightenment and salvatory repentance”; however, not for himself but for the orthodox Catholics that “they might recognize their sin and be converted”. What does the so-called “enlightenment” from heaven mean? It means to adopt the thinking of Husar, behind which is the spirit of antichrist.

 

What are the signs of salvatory repentance in Husar’s opinion? When one accedes to the accusations of the spirit of antichrist and “contritely” renounces the living relationship to Christ as well as one’s saving faith. Such “salvatory repentance” is a spiritual suicide which leads to eternal perdition.

 

What does it mean to “recognize one’s sin”? According to Husar it means that an orthodox Catholic must call his conversion to Christ and turning away from Husar’s heresies a sin.

 

What do the words “be converted” mean? In Husar’s terminology it means to abandon the path of salvation and to take the path of heresy which leads to hell. A sign of such conversion is to serve heresies, career, money and immorality instead of God; and a cunning deceit instead of the Gospel, whereby one drags others to destruction, casts away the Holy Spirit and serves the spirit of antichrist.

 

What does reconciliation with the Holy Church of Husar mean? To accept homosexuality and occultism which he approved and after his pattern to cast doubt upon the fundamental truths of faith, to deny hell, and then in the hour of one’s death to fall therein.

Husar composed an intercession not to God but to a demon. Why? Because he preaches heresies and commits sin against the Holy Spirit. His lord is no longer Jesus Christ but the Antichrist.

 

What does it mean “that they might become partakers of Your grace”? Husar did not choose as his lord Jesus Christ, he chose a different lord. Grace of such lord means quite the opposite – i.e. loss of God’s grace. The devil in the desert also offered Christ to become partaker of his grace, telling him: “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” (Mat 4:9) To such “partaker of demonic grace” Husar will mediate a career – one will receive a rich parish, will be promoted to the dean, will become “successful” theologian, rector of a seminary... “Partakers in this grace” are not allowed to do one thing: to break up with the spirit of heresies and accept Christ as their Saviour and Lord. Why? Because this is the only way to salvation.

 

Principles of the antichristian spirit:

-    Uses the orthodox terms behind which, however, there is not the Spirit of Christ but the spirit of antichrist.

-    When addressing the lord, he actually addresses a demon.

-    When speaking about the Holy Church, it is, in fact, treacherous apostatical hierarchy.

-    When speaking about ravenous wolves, these are, in fact, members of his structure; nevertheless, he terms in this way the orthodox Catholic shepherds.

-    When speaking about false prophets, it is again him and his apostatical structure; nevertheless, he terms in this way the orthodox Catholics.

 

Husar’s intercession is the height of blasphemy and a sin against the Holy Spirit. Let the priests who read this intercession on 26th December 2010 realize that through it they were addressing Husar’s lord who, however, is not Jesus Christ.

 

The apostle John, whom Husar quotes, would say about him and his adherents: “As you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come.” (1Jn 2:18) These are the ones who received the spirit of heresy and are dragging the majority of the Church to perdition. However, they put on the sheep’s clothing of Church officialdom.

 

 

Judge for Yourselves: Who are in reality ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing? We, the orthodox Catholic bishops, who preach Christ’s Gospel and suffer for His sake, or those who received heresies, betrayed Christ and drag the souls down to eternal perdition?

 

In his pastoral letter Husar commits gross denigration and incitement of religious hatred in relation to us. According to Christ’s Gospel, his pastoral letter is a sin against the Holy Spirit.
