Your Holiness,

thank You for Your humble service and Your courage to defend Christ’s Gospel.

One of the signs of the end times and of the coming of the Antichrist is a mass spread of homosexuality and its legalization by state structures! (cf. 1Tim 4:1; 2Tim 3:1f). God calls homosexuality an abomination (see Rom 1:26-27). This abomination was often seen in the history of mankind, yet even pagans generally condemned it. Sodom and Gomorrah legalized homosexuality as a norm, wherefore God’s punishment – fire out of heaven – came down on them. God said explicitly that the fire was an example to all future generations (cf. 2Pt 2:6).

Today the situation is such that a large number of states of the world (including the European Union) legalize homosexuality as proper marriage. They thus destroy at the root the institution of marriage as the foundation of society.

Your Holiness, it is a crime against mankind that the Church is not raising an alarm or fighting in some other way against this abomination. The reaction of the Church is absolutely inadequate. Being silent on so grave a sin leading mankind into catastrophes and destruction, only because of fear of troubles or persecution, is a betrayal of Christ and His Gospel! It has to be emphasized that homosexuality is a direct consequence of idolatry (see Rom 1:22-28) and idolatry is substantially connected with occultism. Because the present-day hierarchy does not emphasize adequately the substance of the faith nor the first commandment of the Decalogue nor the sins of occultism opposed to this commandment, the Church is powerless to witness to the world of the living God. It is God who gives the strength to witness, but the condition is a genuine conversion to Christ, breaking with the spirit of the world and starting the way of repentance. There is no other way to salvation. In the present-day Church this substance is not given the first place, and this is the sin of those who are responsible for the Church.

There are, however, still a lot of genuine Christians who want to defend Christ and His laws and to spread the Gospel in fullness. Yet they are paralyzed by unclear or heretical teaching of numbers of theologians and bishops who present their immoral statements as the doctrine of the Church and claim obedience!

Your Holiness, there are also a lot of genuine Catholics who through the fault of the false teaching of the hierarchs are not sure whether homosexuality is a sin at all. That is why they often fall victims to this perverted dependence. This concerns above all the youth! The secular mass media directly or indirectly, but always purposefully, massage mankind in the matter of homosexuality and gradually transform their sound thinking into perverted one. And the Church is silent! And would that she was silent only! Card. M. Vlk, head of the Catholic Church in the Czech Republic, did not allow the priests to stand against homosexuality, and those who did so were punished by him. What he thus achieved was that the Czech Republic legalized homosexuality.

In Ukraine Card. L. Husar overtly proclaims heresies, overtly practises divination and propagates homosexuality! Instead of being the prophetic voice for the Ukrainian nation he is calling down a curse on Ukraine. He has written overtly that homosexuals “can perform sexual activity of whatever kind”! He is just sorry that their “love” (L. Husar calls the abomination of homosexuality “love”!) is unfruitful!

For their betrayal of Christ, for their betrayal of the Gospel and for their apostasy from Christ M. Vlk and L. Husar are on the basis of God’s Word Gal 1:9 excommunicated from the Church of Christ and fall under a curse, and this applies to everyone who is in spiritual unity with them!

Your Holiness, in the name of the little ones who belong to Christ we beseech You, become a brave prophetic voice for the whole world. We beseech You too, punish bad, heretical shepherds and give the faithful sound, true-converted and brave men of God instead.

Asking for Your blessing and praying for You,
