Dissolution of the Gregorian University

His Holiness

Benedict XVI

Città del Vaticano

Your Holiness,

the pontifical Gregorian University has become a hotbed of heresies and an instrument of the spirit of apostasy. Its adepts spread this pestilence all over the world, infecting the local Churches. On 19th February 2010, we appealed to 265 priests – professors of this university to confess the Catholic faith and to renounce heresies. Unfortunately, as from 5th April 2010, these priests-professors are excommunicated by God from the Mystical Body of Christ – the Church – by reason of their obstinate persistence in unbelief and heresy. We demand that You not only dismiss these professors but at the same time bring the whole university to a standstill until there starts a true reform of the Church. The university must then serve the most necessary task, which is a true renewal of the Catholic Church. Otherwise it lost the sense of its existence.

Yours in Christ,

Bishops of the UOGCC
