Your Holiness,

on the very first day in the new year, shocking news went the rounds – You confirmed the apostatical gesture in Assisi. You intend to repeat and canonize it. We quote You: “... to commemorate the great historic gesture of my predecessor and to solemnly renew the commitment of the believers of all religions to live their own religious faith as a service to peace...”

Your Holiness, realize that by Your acknowledgement of the Assisi gesture You stood against Christ and against His Mystical Body – the Church. This so-called great historic gesture is a total betrayal of Christianity! To invite pagans, who worship Satan, to Assisi and to commit them to living their own religious faith is absurd. To put pagan idolatry on an equal footing with the Gospel is haeresis maxima. The Gospel and the whole missionary tradition of the Church are thus denied!

Your Holiness, Peter denied Christ three times but that very night he showed repentance.

1) You publicly declared a heresy.

2) You fixed a specific date of beatification of an apostate.

3) You decided to make a gesture of apostasy and to go to Assisi Yourself.

In these last two years our Bishops’ Synod have repeatedly urged You to begin the reform of the Church. We have stressed that reform can not be effected without public repentance for apostatical gesture of John Paul II in Assisi. It is the irony that at the beginning of this year You did quite the opposite and set a concrete date of the beatification of an apostatical Pope – 1st May 2011.

The day when You beatify an apostate will become the day of Your self-excommunication from the Mystical Body of Christ! According to Galatians 1:8-9 You will fall under God’s anathema – a curse. If You then create unity with the spirit of antichrist in Assisi, You will become a grave-digger of the Church. 20 years after his death Pope Honorius I was excommunicated from the Church only because he had been silent on heresy. Similarly to John Paul II, You are silent on heresies. You too make a historic heretical gesture! Unless You repent, You will be responsible for self-destruction of the Catholic Church.

Your Holiness, come to reason and repent. How?

1) Cancel the planned meeting in Assisi and do the opposite. The opposite is public penance for the heretical gesture of John Paul II.

2) Cancel the beatification of John Paul II.

3) Remove apostate cardinals and bishops from office! Consecrate true-Catholic bishops who will carry out an internal reform of the Church.

This is what not only the bleeding Church but also the Supreme Shepherd of the Church, Jesus Christ Himself, expects from You. He will soon ask You to account for whether You acted in accordance with this prophetic word!

Praying for You,
