To the MPs of Ukraine

                                          Moral support for President

Dear members of Parliament,

You represent the Ukrainian nation. The nation has entrusted You with the power to govern it well. Europe is experiencing a period of ideological confusion nowadays. Under the dictatorship of the EU all traditional values and moral laws are being destroyed. This is hypocritically called “European standards”. The EU and the UN are exerting pressure on You by means of promises and bribes. The nation needs moral personalities, which will be able to convey the blessing on the present and future generations. We believe that the majority of You endeavor after this. Many of You honestly ask themselves for example why the Catholic hierarchy in Ukraine does not take a clear position on the current issue of homosexuality associated with gender ideology, so-called juvenile justice and so-called sex education of children. Why do they not give answers to these questions to the believers and to all sincerely seeking people? We must admit with pain that the current Catholic hierarchy has betrayed the essence of the Gospel. This hierarchy has opened itself to the heresies and syncretism associated with paganism and with the loss of moral values. Our Bishops’ Synod of the Ukrainian orthodox Greek-Catholic Church (UOGCC) gives actual responses on behalf of the Catholic Church to all Christians as well as to You.

This month, the President is to sign the resolution of the Minister of Justice O. Lavrynovich on the adoption of an amendment to the UN Convention on Child’s Rights of the United Nations. In essence, the matter here is introduction of juvenile justice in practice. Juvenile justice will take children away mainly from wealthy citizens of Ukraine and even the intervention of the President himself or of You will be of no help even if these were Your own children or grandchildren.

PLEASE, provide moral support to Mr President so that in no case can he sign this law. If only the courage of Lithuanian MPs be an example for You and for him. The Lithuanian MPs, though they are under the dictatorship of the EU, have boldly stood against the demoralization of the Lithuanian youth and suggested statutory penalties of 580-2900 euros for even the slightest promotion of homosexuality. In Lithuania was also abolished the term “sexual orientation” in the Education Act. Deal courageously too. For Your faith and courage, God will grant blessing to Ukraine. Be true heroes. The reward to You will be awareness of moral and spiritual salvation of the nation and its gratitude to You. God will also reward You after Your death for defending natural and divine laws.

Bestowing a blessing upon You

Bishops’ Synod of the UOGCC
