To Patriarchs and Bishops of the Orthodox Churches

Dear Patriarchs,

Dear Bishops,

in these hard times You have assumed the office of shepherds and You bear full responsibility for the flock entrusted to You. We live in times when a new antichristian thought is being formed which undermines all God’s laws (homosexuality, paedophilia, euthanasia...).

The blame for the moral decay of Western Europe falls largely on Catholic theologians and hierarchs who have a spirit of apostasy. In fact, this spirit of apostasy is going to be beatified in the person of John Paul II on 1 May 2011.

The Pope’s gesture in Assisi in 1986 and its solemn revival this year has opened the Western Church to God’s curse. The Apostle Paul says clearly: “Even if an angel from heaven should preach any other gospel to you, let him be accursed – anathema.” (Gal 1:8-9) This another Assisi gospel of the Western Church has manipulated public opinion into a belief that Christianity and paganism are equal ways to salvation. This is ‘haeresis maxima’. The rhetoric about peace prayers is a mere guise to deceive the masses.

If You take part in beatification of John Paul II, You will thus manifest Your unity with the spirit of apostasy which he allowed to take flesh in the Western Church. On Your part it will in essence be a betrayal of Christ and a stumbling block to the little ones.

If You participate in Assisi prayers with Buddhists, Hindus and animists (sorcerers), You will bring down God’s anathema both on Yourselves and on the Orthodox Church according to Gal 1:8-9. Our Bishops’ Synod will be forced to state with pain before the whole Christian world Your excommunication from the Mystical Body of Christ – from the Church.

Be brave. Be true apostles of Jesus Christ.

Praying for You,

Bishops of the Synod of the UOGCC
