Letter to Catholic priests and believers of Belgium
Post date: 2011-06-10Autor: BCP
Dear priests and Catholic believers of Belgium, Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate turns to You with a particularly important appeal. It concerns every Catholic of Belgium. In this time of mass apostasy from the true, saving faith it is necessary that one should separate oneself radically and concretely from the spirit of apostasy which the Church hierarchy has received. On 1st May 2011, Pope Benedict XVI elevated the spirit of Assisi – the spirit of antichrist – to the altar of the Church, thus calling down a curse upon the whole Church. This spirit of heresy and apostasy is the source of paedophilia and homosexuality among priests and has its roots in the new 25-year tradition of Assisi.
God’s appeal to all priests of the Roman Catholic Church
Post date: 2011-05-10Autor: BCP
The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate hereby calls in the name of God on all Roman Catholic priests to separate themselves from the spirit of Assisi – the spirit of antichrist. As a priest in the liturgy confesses his unity with the Pope and the bishop, he is now required to:1) publicly distance himself from the spirit of Assisi before the faithful.2) stop mentioning ex-Pope Benedict XVI and apostate bishop in the Holy Liturgy. A priest who will not do so until 12th June 2011, makes it manifest that he maintains unity with the spirit of apostasy. By this very act he will excommunicate himself from the Mystical Body of Christ – the Church – and the liturgy celebrated by him, as by an apostate, will be invalid.
Declaration by the Bishops’ Synod of the Ukrainian orthodox Greek-Catholic Church
Post date: 2011-03-31Autor: Synod UO GCC
We, the bishops of the Ukrainian orthodox Greek-Catholic Church, along with its head Michael Osidach, declare: Teaching and attitudes of the Ukrainian orthodox Greek-Catholic Church are fully Christian, biblical and Catholic. We confess what the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church has confessed from the very beginning of her existence, apart from the current heresies. We confess the Divinity of Christ and His resurrection which is real and historical. We condemn all forms of occultism (magic, divination, spiritism). We believe that hell is eternal. The current heresies are: historical-critical theology and false respect for paganism.

Christmas pastoral letter of Benedict XVI
Post date: 2010-12-25Autor:
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I am turning to You as the shepherd who has been entrusted with the greatest responsibility for Your salvation. At Christmas we penetrate more deeply into the mystery of God’s love – the almighty and eternal God came into the world as a defenceless child to deliver us from the cruel slavery of Satan and sin and to transfer us to the kingdom of God. By His death and resurrection He has overcome sin, death and the devil and given us eternal life. This life is in Him, nowhere else.
New Year’s pastoral letter of Pope Benedict XVI

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I am turning to You as the successor of Saint Peter, charged with responsibility for Christ’s flock. Today is the first day of the New Year entering the second decade of the third millennium. What is the spiritual balance and what is the vision in the near future? The balance is lamentable. Paedophilia scandals inside the Church and apostasy in the former Christian territories continue. In many European countries the Christian temples are being closed or changed into mosques. Islamization of Europe continues, but in Islamic countries Christians are persecuted and killed.
SOS! Gender = genocide of Ukraine
Post date: 2010-07-23Autor: Synod UO GCC
In Ukraine, gender is presented as equality of human rights, protection of children, youth and family. And this is a lie! Gender ideology maintains that man is born bisexual and that he or she can choose whether he or she is a man or a woman. This is a thumping lie too. The aim is to destroy the natural institution of the family in society and to promote and legalize homosexual perversion. The so-called amendments to the laws are to serve this purpose, and that already in September, i.e. within a few days.
Pastoral letter to priests of the Ivano-Frankivsk region
Post date: 2010-02-15Autor: Synod UO GCC
The mass media have informed the Ukrainian public about a gay-pride in Ivano-Frankivsk which is going to take place on Good Friday.This prepared blasphemous action on Good Friday is to deal a deep blow to Christianity on our territory and open the Ukrainian nation for unclean spirits and a curse. Its aim is the decay of society and invasion of Ukraine by the spirit of antichrist.The organizers of this event are well aware that the greatest moral power standing against them in the western Ukraine is the UGCC. However, both they and You know that Head of the UGCC, ex-Card. Husar, will not be in protest against this event and will not want the priests of the UGCC to protest against it either.In this situation every one of You must make a choice – either Christ or Husar! The priest who will not stand actively in defence of God’s laws in this Holy Lenten period and will allow owing to his passivity the door to be opened to a moral epidemic, the one has denied the faith, renounced Christ and become an apostate.

Although this kingdom is born in poverty and human weakness, in its midst there is almighty God who reigns for ever.May the grace of the Child Jesus, through the Virgin Mary who gave birth to Him, descend upon you all, upon your families and your houses and abide with you for ever.
Pastoral letter concerning Petition for protection of family
Post date: 2009-11-04Autor: Synod UO GCC
Dear priests of the UGCC, we are turning to You with confidence. Permit, or perhaps support or initiate – either publicly or at least privately – signing of the petition for protection of family by as many believers in Your parish as possible against the propagation of homosexuality which by means of laws is already being harshly pushed through in the EU. Make this step of faith while there is still time. Tomorrow it might be late. This Your step of faith is desired by the One who died and rose again from the dead – by Jesus Christ Himself.
A stop to the homosexual infection (3.7.2009) (a pastoral letter to the faithful of the eparchy of Ivano-Frankivsk and Kolomiya)
Post date: 2009-07-03Autor:
Dear faithful, the Ivano-Frankivsk region is considered the most Catholic territory, and even the most religious one in general, in all Ukraine. It is painful that the regional state administration representatives have given their permission to organize a break through homosexual campaign scheduled for October. Supposing there is a breakthrough in Ivano-Frankivsk, similar actions will continue in other towns as well. The aim of this campaign is to legalize homosexual marriages and thus to put them on an equal footing with natural marriage.Catholic believers, but also the Orthodox and other Christians, are obliged today to do their best with the purpose of preventing the action in Ivano-Frankivsk at any cost!There is only one way to salvation and that is repentance! Therefore we, the bishops of the orthodox Catholic Synod from Ukraine, call You in the name of God: Pray day and night and do not allow the homosexual epidemic to break out in any of the towns of the Ivano-Frankivsk region and to attack Ukraine.
Pastoral letter to all Christians of Europe
Post date: 2009-06-13Autor:
On behalf of God we call You all in this historic time to join the prayer for spiritual resurrection of fallen-away-from-Christianity Europe. Europe is a spiritual cemetery and the Lord shows the solution through the prophet (Ezek 37:1f): “Prophesy, son of man, to these dry bones.” This word of prophecy is now given in this call for repentance and continual prayer. The reaction to the word of prophecy was a rattling noise; and the bones scattered over the valley of death came together, bone to bone, and were made into skeletons – foundations of a new life in Christ. After further prophesying comes the next stage of spiritual resurrection. The bones were covered with muscles and finally, after still further prophesying, the Spirit of God came into them. God said: “These bones are the people of God – Israel.” Yes, these bones are the people of God – the Church of Europe! Resurrection will be accomplished by God. The condition is one – repentance.
Pentecostal pastoral letter to the faithful of the UGCC 2009
Post date: 2009-05-23Autor:
In the present time a very hard spiritual battle is going on for total dechristianization of Europe. The European Union promotes perverted laws which, in fact, deny the essence of Christianity. The nations that passed laws of homosexual marriages seem to have gone blind and without any resistance submitted to the dictates of the European Union. They signed judgement of death over the true Christianity on their territory. The main blame lies with the apostatic Church which has the spirit of the world and conforms to this trend or often even challenges to it.
Easter pastoral letter 2009
Post date: 2009-04-15Autor:
Every Divine Liturgy, which You celebrate daily, is a miracle of the Holy Spirit. The centre of the Eastern liturgy is the so-called Epiclesis, or intensive invocation to the Holy Spirit. It begins when the priest prays silently: “Again we offer to You this spiritual and unbloody sacrifice, and we implore and pray and entreat You, send down Your Holy Spirit upon us and upon these gifts here present.” It is very useful here for the priest to make at least a minute pause, that the Holy Spirit may descend not only on bread and wine but through faith on him too.
Pastoral letter for the Lenten period 2009

In Your life, especially in critical situations or temptations, look to Jesus. This is the key to true victory and change of our life.God desires a change of the hearts of our believers. So that this change may take place, first the hearts of the shepherds – priests – must be changed. Therefore we beseech You earnestly by the name of Jesus Christ that You stand against sin in Your personal life and resist it to bloodshed.
New year’s pastoral letter to the faithful 2009
Post date: 2009-01-14Autor:
We, orthodox Catholic bishops, have been called by God in this time to be the living conscience of the Church and to unflinchingly call a sin a sin, the truth the truth and a lie a lie. We are willing even to lay down our lives for the sake of Christ and His Gospel. But we cannot make in Your behalf the act of decision which like a small grain on the scales is to mediate Your salvation. Today God is seeking with hope ten righteous to put into their hands the destiny of the nation.

By this pastoral letter we call upon You, every priest, as diocesan so religious, in the name of God, that is, God Himself through us calls You to the most vital step, without which nobody will be saved, and that is a clear confession of the true faith in Christ and His Gospel. Your attitude of denial or confession of faith will decide Your eternity! This is the most topical and at the same time also the most personal matter, if You want to be and remain Christ’s servant and if You want to be saved!

The almighty God became a defenceless child, that you may become a son of God, an heir of God’s kingdom. This is Christmas. God loves you and has given you the greatest gift: His own Son. In Him you have eternal life and in Him you also have true happiness on this earth. If you admit your sin before God and receive Jesus with faith, Jesus is born in your soul. It makes no difference whether you are a child, or an adult man or woman.
Pastoral letter of the new orthodox Catholic Bishops’ Synod of the UGCC to the priests 2008

God who died for You on the cross now asks You to reject chantage on the part of the apostatic yet hitherto official hierarchy and not to torment the souls of the common believers in Confession or in sermons by forcing them to unite with L. Husar who is a heretic and apostate and by separating them from us and from Christ crucified whom we represent. You thus commit a grave crime above all against Your own soul! You thus renounce Your own salvation! You turn into Judases and fall under his curse (cf. Acts 1:20).

The false shepherds commit a grave crime against Christ and the Church by forcing the priests to abuse the sacrament of confession for manipulation of truth and conscience. The sorry truth is that in confession they force You to renounce Pidhirtsi and the Spirit of God, the spirit of truth which is behind us and, on the contrary, to confess unity with the heretic L. Husar and with the spirit which is behind him. In other words, they force You to fall away from Christ, to renounce Your salvation and to unite with the spirit of antichrist which is behind the heresies of L. Husar! That which these false shepherds and some of their adherents from among the priests do is a deadly sin and an abuse of the sacrament of penance. They are not entitled to act in this way and You are not obliged to submit to their chantage.
