Your Holiness,

our Synod of the UOGCC is obliged to warn You of a catastrophic state of the Church in Austria owing to apostatical hierarchy headed by ex-Card. Ch. Schönborn. Schönborn is a well-known personality and he is believed by many to become Your successor to the Papal See.

Schönborn promotes the heretical pantheism of T. Chardin. He repeatedly proposes abolition of the celibacy instead of a true reform of the Church. In addition, he is an advocate of same-sex marriages. It is the height of hypocrisy that he who upholds homosexuality and church weddings of homosexuals at the same time rebukes ex-Card. Sodano for consciously concealing the crimes of paedophilia. Everyone knows that homosexuality and paedophilia are closely intertwined. Schönborn worked on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. This Catechism contains misleading statements as to the question of homosexuality in article 2358. Similarly, Card. F. König foisted a misleading statement about a regard for other religions in the Nostra aetate declaration. Unfortunately, ex-Card. Schönborn has the same spirit and the same methods and has brought down a curse upon the whole Church just like his spiritual father. König is known for having maintained close contact with Freemasons. Schönborn sets a bad example by allowing a demonic “piece of art” in the shape of the cross in his cathedral. Besides, he allows rock Masses and participates in them himself, holding a coloured balloon in his hand.

Your Holiness, the spirit of apostasy maintained among the apostatical hierarchy of Austria by ex-Card. Schönborn brings down a curse on all Catholics of Austria and on the entire nation. As the successor of Peter, You are obliged to publicly appeal to ex-Card. Schönborn and the apostatical hierarchy united with him to resign their offices which they now hold unlawfully. Why? Because they have fallen under God’s anathema for proclamation of a different gospel and for unity with heresies which deny the essence of the true Gospel.

If ex-Card. Schönborn and the heretical bishops will not obey You, the responsibility before God, before the Church and before the whole world will fall on them.

Yours in Christ,

            Bishops of the UOGCC
