God’s appeal to all priests of the Roman Catholic Church

The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate hereby calls in the name of God on all Roman Catholic priests to separate themselves from the spirit of Assisi – the spirit of antichrist. God’s judgement begins at the head, hierarchy and clergy.

On 1st May 2011, by his gesture of beatification of John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI elevated to the altar of the Church the spirit of Assisi – the spirit of antichrist, thus excommunicating himself from the Church in accordance with Gal 1:8-9. The Church has found herself in a sedes vacantis state. Through a formal reception of the spirit of antichrist, God has taken away the continual sacrifice from the Catholic Church (see Dan 8:11-14, Mt 24:15)

As a priest in the liturgy confesses his unity with the Pope and the bishop, he is now required to:

1) publicly distance himself from the spirit of Assisi before the faithful.

2) stop mentioning ex-Pope Benedict XVI and apostate bishop in the Holy Liturgy.

A priest who will not do so until 12th June 2011, makes it manifest that he maintains unity with the spirit of apostasy. By this very act he will excommunicate himself from the Mystical Body of Christ – the Church – and the liturgy celebrated by him, as by an apostate, will be invalid (see picture below). Likewise the sacraments administered by him will be invalid. It will be just a pious performance and insult to the Saviour. If a priest dies in this state of apostasy, he will be eternally condemned.

The time has come, when every priest must decide whom he wants to serve – whether Christ or Antichrist.

Now the time of systematic destruction of the Church and of the true believers has come.

What is an honest priest to do?

a) He should separate himself from the apostatical structure. Before separating himself publicly, the priest should visit the most faithful and most influential laymen in his parish. He should explain to them what situation the Church has found herself in after the beatification of the spirit of Assisi – the spirit of antichrist – and its elevation to the altar of the Church. He should ask them to remain faithful to Christ and to separate from the spirit of apostasy together with him. May they be willing to suffer along with him for their loyalty to Christ and His Church! Let them prepare for the expulsion and the new catacombs. Only the Liturgy celebrated by these faithful priests is valid.

b) Such a faithful priest cannot remain alone. He has to find other priests who are willing to make this step as well.

Bestowing blessing on all the faithful priests

When the words of consecration are pronounced and in the epiclesis during the Liturgy the bread and wine are changed into the Body and Bl ood of Christ. Through a priest who received valid Holy Orders and has the saving faith this transubstantiation in the Liturgy is brought about by the Holy Spirit.

If a priest sins gravely regarding morals, the Holy Spirit does work through his priesthood but this priest does not benefit by it. It is true about him that he “eats and drinks judgment on himself”. However, if a priest is in unity with the spirit of Assisi and refuses to publicly dissociate himself from it, he becomes an apostate. And the Holy Spirit cannot work through an apostate. The Liturgy officiated by an apostate is always invalid.
