An appeal to the Christian clergy in Ukraine

Dear Christian ministers,

we are living in difficult times. The Christian shepherds are obliged to protect the flock and to provide healthy pastures for their sheep. They are obliged to call evil evil, a lie a lie, immorality immorality and a crime a crime.

Today Ukraine witnesses adoption of so-called law amendments, which bring in amorality and lawlessness and lead to the loss of national sovereignty. These law amendments are associated with a clause that makes Ukraine totally dependent on the international standards which are anti-Christian, unnatural, amoral and downright criminal. International organizations even promote globalization towards so-called reduction of humanity.

Within the current changing laws one covertly promotes above all a homodictatorship associated with the juvenile justice system under the term gender equality. The supranational juvenile justice system takes children away from families without reason, without trial and without any chance of defence.

The paradox is that it is primarily the apostatical hierarchy of the UGCC who is most actively involved in this process leading not only to elimination of national values but even to destruction of Christianity. They deliberately keep the Catholics in the dark. They are not a prophetic voice calling for true repentance and conversion which alone can lead to the salvation of the nation from planned genocide. On the contrary, the apostatical hierarchy is engaged in fruitless and misleading activities, many of which are detrimental to the faith and morals. They concentrate their efforts on the establishment of “a single national Church” consisting of the Catholics and Orthodox. They introduce spiritual globalization with the spirit of Assisi, with the spirit of New Age, that means, with the spirit of antichrist, and reject repentance and conversion. Such spiritual hotchpotch can be nothing but opium for the Christians of Ukraine and can cause harm to the entire nation.

Apostatical Christianity questions the Divinity of Christ, His real and historical resurrection, the inspiration of the Holy Scripture (so-called historical-critical theology). It promotes reverence for pagan religions and their demons (II Vaticanum, the spirit of Assisi 1986-2011). This apostatical Christianity does not lead to eternal life, but it is the broad road to eternal perdition (cf. Mt 7:13)

These heresies and the spirit of apostasy have been brought in Ukraine by ex-Cardinal Husar and his Western colleagues, as well as by the young priests who were formed by heretical teachings in the West. They systematically kill the reform, for which purpose they abuse even the state authorities (e.g. Bryukhovychi 2009, Chortkiv, Probizhna 2010, Lvov 2011). This hierarchy receives honours from organizations that are called orders of knighthood such as Order of Stanislaus, Order of Archangel Michael, Registered Cossacks. These so-called orders of knighthood are closely tied with the semi-secret Masonic association, which in essence fights against true Christianity. Unfortunately, this bad example infected even the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Kiev Patriarchate (Ternopol, 2 October 2011).

The Council for LGBT Interests has been registered this year, which has established its so-called Christian Church of St. Cornelius. The UGCC hierarchy has issued no authoritative statement against homosexuality; on the contrary, Head of the UGCC L. Husar openly approves of homosexuality in his book “Discussions with His Beatitude L. Husar: On Postconfessional Christianity”. This hierarchy is also hypocritically silent on the criminal juvenile justice system.

These are crimes of the Church hierarchy against Christ and against the Ukrainian nation.

These days the first stage of chip implantation is to be accomplished in this nation as in no other nation either in Europe or throughout the world.

The dangers of chip implantation are the following:

1) total control of people;

2) abuse of personal data;

3) a threat to national security;

4) the number 666, which is the biblical sign of the antichrist, hidden in the chip - this being restriction of religious freedom;

5) the ultimate aim of the “chipping” is chip implantation in the hand or forehead, which will deprive people of their free will, and can even stop the heartbeat and cause death.

The Church hierarchy is silent on chip implantation and hypocritically persecutes those who raise the alarm. If the UGCC hierarchy said a clear word, which the President, government and political structures are expecting, the nation would be saved. Therefore, in the given situation hypocritical silence is the biggest crime. All responsibility for moral and spiritual devastation, and now even for planned genocide and eternal damnation of millions of souls of Ukrainians, falls mainly on the apostatical Catholic hierarchy.

In this historic hour we are appealing to the Catholic and Orthodox priests as well as to all pastors:

1) It is necessary that You confess the true faith before the faithful and renounce the above-mentioned heresies which destroy the essence of Christianity.

2) You and Your believers should present the President with a petition, asking him to stop the process of demoralization and dechristianization of Ukraine associated with the so-called law amendments.

3) Encourage Your believers to pray for these intentions, since it is in their concern and for the sake of both earthly and eternal life of their children. It would be ideal if each family could choose one hour which they find suitable and pray at this time every day – they may pray all together or take turns in such way that at least one member of the family would pray. In this way all hours of the day will be filled with the intention of saving the Ukrainian nation. It is also recommended that the believers fast on Fridays on bread and water and on Wednesdays without meat.

4) The priests and pastors should encourage the faithful to organize demonstrations in front of regional councils once a month for two hours. A common demand is:

a) stop to chip implantation;

b) stop to the criminal juvenile justice system;

c) stop to gender-gay ideology;

d) stop to law amendments leading to genocide.

There is still time! Now is the acceptable time, now is the day of salvation! (2Cor 6:2)

For God and for Ukraine!

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!
