Your Holiness, we kindly ask You to establish a monastery sui iuris on the base of the CCEO can. 412, 433, 434, in the eparchy of Sokalo, Lviv or Kolomyja (Ukraine), where we would pass. This act would solve the whole conflict. This is what we asked for at the Congregation for the Oriental Churches as well as at our General superiors one year ago; however, instead of a positive or negative response there came a groundless monstrous process with a subsequent exclusion from the OSBM Order.

As for us, it would be most ideal if this sui iuris monastery was established in the Monastery in Pidhirci where we now live and where we performed our mission for two years. The local believers would be encouraged very much thereby. However, there would have to be an agreement made between us and the OSBM about the use of their building e.g. for 10 years.

Your Holiness, we would further like to ask You to annul the decree of the General Assembly OSBM from 13th July 2004, by which without any reason given and without any confrontation with the superior the OSBM Delegature of St. Prokop in the Czech Republic was abolished. 21 young monks were sent home, their temporary vows were voided and they were told that the Church did not need them! This was done to them only because they were in unity with us. Your Holiness, please, help these young people to live a life consecrated to God again.
