Letter to Catholic priests and believers of Belgium

Post date:   2011-06-10

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

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.

On 3rd March 2008, the episcopal consecration of four Basilian monks from the Pidhirtsi monastery was made public. This was announced to the Holy Father along with an explanation that this step was taken in an emergency situation and for the good of the UGCC.On 5th April 2011, due to the growing crisis in the Church, the orthodox Synod of Bishops declared the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate, whose scope of activity goes beyond the limits of the Ukrainian Church and which has become an orthodox alternative for the orthodox Catholics of the Latin rite. The establishment of the Patriarchate has an extremely serious reason, namely: defence of the orthodox Catholic teaching and morals in the whole Catholic Church!

Reverend Father, on behalf of Christ we beseech You to renounce the heresies of L. Huzar as well as the antichristian spirit of Assisi and not to attend beatification of an apostate. If You do attend this event, You will bring God’s anathema upon Yourself. This is not a threat but a salvific warning.

Your Holiness, in an extraordinary assembly of 5 April 2011, the Bishops’ Synod of the UOGCC considered the critical situation in the Catholic Church and violation of the saving faith. The response of the Synod to this catastrophic state was establishment and proclamation of the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate. The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate is in true communion with You in the apostolic and catholic faith free from all heresies and from the spirit of apostasy. Together with You – Peter – we condemn all ancient as well as modern heresies, particularly those connected with the current historical-critical method.

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.

Response to the pastoral letter of Head of the UGCC L. Husar (part 1)

Post date:   2011-01-01
Autor:   Synod UO GCC
The pastoral letter of L. Husar is a real shock. He publicly calls our Ukrainian orthodox Greek-Catholic Church (UOGCC) a sect. The term sect produces in every man a feeling of aversion and horror. Sects are occult religious organizations that smuggle drugs or weapons, liquidate their members and organize mass suicides. Husar commits malicious denigration and foments religious hatred in relation to us. In conformity with the criminal code of Ukraine, these crimes carry a penalty of 2-5 years’ imprisonment. According to the law of God, his pastoral letter is a sin against the Holy Spirit because it deliberately perverts the essence of the truth with the intention to destroy God’s work.



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

Autor:   Synod UO GCC
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.



Christmas pastoral letter of Benedict XVI

Post date:   2010-12-25
Autor:  
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.



Religious discrimination in Lvov

Post date:   2010-11-05

Dear Sir, we hereby ask You again to give us an opportunity to celebrate Sunday Liturgies in the Church of Sts Peter and Paul. Since 1946 the Church of Sts Peter and Paul has served as a storage place for books; Divine Liturgies have not been celebrated there for 64 years. First You pleaded that You had given the church to the Basilian Order (OSBM), then that You had given it to the Archbishopric of the UGCC and now that it is to be entrusted to the military. You commit discrimination against our minority Church (UOGCC).



The second legal action concerning discrimination against UOGCC

We are saddened that the Strasbourg Court did not react at all to our legal action, which was sent to You not only by fax but even by official mail. A month went by, and we come to the conclusion that all documents about human rights relating to religion and faith are just a scrap of paper and that the whole so-called struggle against discrimination is directed only to the promotion of perverted privileges of homosexuals to the detriment of defenceless population.



A reply to an editor from Madrid

Dear Sir, concerning Your questions about our consecration and our Church, we reply:The question concerning us and our Synod: We announced our consecration to the Holy Father Benedict XVI and made it public. We informed him that if he would like to acquaint himself with all the details of our consecration, including the photographs, we are ready at any time for an audience where we can explain everything to him. Unallowed consecration in the Latin Church is punished with excommunication. This, however, does not apply to the Byzantine Church. And moreover, Husar as an apostate – i.e. as excommunicated from the Church – cannot excommunicate us. He did attempt to do so hypocritically by means of a frame-up trial which, however, backfired on him, convicted him of wrongdoing and brought shame on him. The Holy Father, the believers and us did not accept the results of his “trial”. Moreover, a bishop can be excommunicated by the Pope alone. There is only one exception – when a bishop is excommunicated by himself by reason of overt apostasy.  



SOS! Gender = genocide of Ukraine

Post date:   2010-07-23
Autor:   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.
