Since we wrote our letters to the Holy Father and cardinals of the whole Church, the right to judge us for the letters is not with the UGCC Bishops’ synod without the permission by the Holy Father himself. The Synod must at least ask His Holiness about his opinion of this matter.

As for the pointing out the defalcations committed by Card. A. Sodano, it likewise is quite a serious matter which is also to be resolved by the Holy Father himself because what we are actually doing is that we are supporting the Holy Father and the whole suffering Church – those who through an abuse of obedience were silenced and liquidated. Resolving whether we are telling the truth or whether we are blackening is only within the competence of the Holy Father. The fact that H.E. Bishop emeritus S. Mudryi OSBM is proposing punitive canons 1447, 1445, namely that we should be deprived of priesthood and excommunicated, is a meanness from his part.

Let those who want to excommunicate us think over themselves, let they think over their way of thinking, their sins and theological opinions, whether they did not separate themselves from Christ and His mystical body long ago and whether now they are not just dead members of the Church.
