To priests of the Czech Republic<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

Dear brothers in the priesthood,<\/p>\n

on 6 July 2015, the whole Czech nation will commemorate the 600th<\/sup> anniversary of the martyrdom of Master John Huss.<\/p>\n

The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate (BCP) hereby declares before the whole Catholic Church and Czech nation: The Czech priest John Huss was no heretic but he died a martyr for truth and the law of God.<\/strong> It is evident from his own writings, especially from his letters written several days before his death. Huss\u2019 writings contain no heresies. If someone means to ascribe heretical intentions to his writings, let him know that John Huss himself warns against it. In his letter to Pope John XXIII dated 1 September 1411, he writes: \u201cIf they have given or are giving information that I taught the people that in the Sacrament of the Altar the material substance of the bread remains, it is a falsehood. It is a falsehood that I have said that when the Host is elevated it is then the Body of Christ, but when it is laid down it is not. It is a falsehood that a priest in mortal sin cannot consecrate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>On 27 June 1415, he wrote: \u201cThe Council desired me to declare the falsity of all of my books and each article taken from them. I refused to do so, unless they should be proved false by Scripture. I mean that whatever false interpretation should be found in any article whatever, I abhor it,<\/strong> and commend it to the correction of the Lord Jesus Christ, Who knows my real intention and will not interpret in a wrong sense which I do not intend. I exhort you in the Lord<\/span> to abhor any false meaning you may be able to discover in any of these articles, but always to preserve the truth that is intended<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

When he was led to the place of execution, he saw his writings falsely labelled as heretical being burned in the fire. The executor undressed him and bound him to a stake. He faced the east, but they said to disgrace him: \u201cHe must not face the east because he is a heretic. Turn him to the west!\u201d<\/em> And they did so.<\/p>\n

Before he was burnt at the stake, the imperial marshal, Hoppe von Pappenheim, made a last attempt to force Huss into denying the truth and declaring himself a heretic. He promised to save his life if he would recant. The martyr John replied: \u201cGod is my witness that I have never taught or preached that of which I have been accused by false witnesses but the primary intention of my preaching and of all my deeds or writings was to save people from sins. In the same truth of the Gospel which I have written, taught and preached, drawing upon the sayings and positions of the holy doctors, I will die today with gladness.<\/span>\u201d<\/em> The bailiffs immediately set the stake on fire and John Huss sung twice in a high voice: \u201cChrist, Son of the Living God, have mercy on us!\u201d<\/em> When he sung the third time: \u201c\u2026born of the Virgin Mary\u201d<\/em>, the wind blew flames into his face, and he commended his soul to the Lord.<\/p>\n

The question of heresy<\/span><\/p>\n

If anyone wants to be a priest today, he must accept or respect the archheresy of neo-Modernism which denies the Divinity of Christ, His redemptive death on the cross, His real and historical Resurrection as well as divine inspiration of Scripture. These heresies are connected with syncretism. What is being preached is reverence for paganism and its demons (Nostra aetate 1965, Assisi 1986). It is a sin against the First Commandment: \u201cYou shall have no other gods, you shall not bow down to them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Betrayal inside the Church has reached a catastrophic level. The fruit is moral and spiritual holocaust progressing on the territory of fallen-away Christian nations.<\/p>\n

Huss writes in 1412: \u201cO faithful Christian, search for truth, love truth\u2026\u201d<\/em> Nowadays, many who feed the souls of the Czech nation with spiritual poison, have the following motto: \u201cSearch for half-truth and lies, hear lies, teach lies, love lies, defend lies till death, for lies will not deliver you from sin and the devil and, ultimately, from eternal death either.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Man is said no longer to be a man or a woman but a gender \u201cit\u201d. Child stealing, moral child abuse and mental disorder are said to be \u201cthe rights of children\u201d according to new standards. Divine and natural law is moreover boycotted by the legalization of drugs and euthanasia even for children and healthy people. The nations of the fallen-away Christian Europe prepare their autogenocide. What is a new compulsory vaccination of children which results in weakening of the immune system and infertility? What is a trade in human organs? What is a child fair for homosexuals? (see Brussels, 2015)<\/p>\n

Dear brother, being a priest You are co-responsible. You are obliged to oppose this system of spiritual infection and to start to fight for true restoration \u2013 reform \u2013 of the Catholic Church and nation, beginning with Yourself<\/span>. Unless You radically dissociate Yourself from the two heresies \u2013 neo-Modernism and syncretism<\/strong>, You no longer have the saving faith and You drive out the Holy Spirit, for which reason Your administration of the sacraments is null and void, not just unworthy. You must be the first to renounce these heresies and this spirit.<\/span> Do so publicly on Sunday 5 July. This is your gesture of repentance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Days of national repentance: 4, 5 and 6 July 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

Find time for videos related to renewal of baptism<\/strong> (see https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?category_name=spiritual-preparation-for-the-anniversary-of-baptism-of-kievan-rus&paged=3<\/a>) and at least one hour for taking stock of your life. You can visit a cemetery, where your relatives or friends are buried, and you can realize that you will die too, and then God\u2019s judgment and eternity will follow.<\/span> Write a list of your main sins against your neighbours, against yourself and against God. Then turn your spiritual eyes to the cross of Christ and become aware that the Son of God died in disgrace on the cross to pay the price for you and to give you eternal life. There is only one condition for you: to admit your sins and to give them to Jesus Christ. Light a candle as a gesture of faith and burn the list of sins. Then thank Jesus in a few words for forgiving you all your sins. This is perfect contrition.<\/p>\n

Look at the sky of stars at least for 5 minutes in the evening. Think of the size, number and distance of stars. The Sun is 1.300.000 times as large as our Earth. The Milky Way is 20.000 light years away from the Earth, and some stars are even millions of light years away. Everything is in motion and has its own perfect order. Looking at the sky of stars, confess: \u201cI believe in God, Creator of heaven and earth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

On Saturday or Sunday, purge your bookcase<\/strong> of heretical and occult books which promote other religions, books promoting impurity, pornographic magazines and the like. Apart from that, if you have any magic or pagan symbols in your home, remove them. If you wear a sign of the zodiac around your neck, take it off. Purge your musical recordings (CDs) too of those that have their roots in satanic voodoo (rock, metal).<\/p>\n

It is necessary that volunteers in each town should choose a place where the books promoting heresy, magic, divination, neopaganism, immorality and pornography could be burnt on Sunday or Monday \u2013 5 or 6 July. Let a fire symbolizing repentance (Acts 19:19) burn on these days in the whole Czech Republic! Let thus the living Christ, who baptizes with the Holy Spirit and fire (Mt 3:11), come into the souls!<\/p>\n

Monday 6 July \u2013 renewal through baptism<\/span><\/p>\n

A prerequisite for baptism is repentance and the confession of the Lord Jesus Christ. Baptism was performed by pouring water or by immersing in a river or lake or in a baptismal font. The renewal of baptism does not have to be performed by a priest. The reality of baptism is union with Christ\u2019s death and resurrection \u2013 a new life (Rom 6:3-5). In baptism sins are forgiven. A person is grafted onto Christ and receives a new life. \u201cAs many of you as were baptized have put on Christ.\u201d<\/em> (Gal 3:27)<\/p>\n

The renewal of baptism is preceded by renunciation of the devil:<\/p>\n

Question: \u201cDo you renounce the devil and all his works, particularly modern heresies questioning the Divinity of Christ and divine inspiration of Scripture?\u201d<\/p>\n

Answer: \u201cI do.\u201d And all spit to the West.<\/p>\n

Question: \u201cDo you renounce the spirit of divination, magic and syncretism with paganism?\u201d<\/p>\n

Answer: \u201cI do.\u201d And all spit to the West.<\/p>\n

Question: \u201cDo you renounce unclean spirits, the spirit of pornography and all kinds of sexual perversion?\u201d<\/p>\n

Answer: \u201cI do.\u201d And all spit to the West.<\/p>\n

Spitting to the West is a tradition connected with baptism, which was a practice of Sts Cyril and Methodius at Velehrad. The West symbolizes a realm of evil and so before John Huss was burnt at the stake, his enemies turned him to the west to degrade him.<\/p>\n

Baptismal formula<\/span><\/p>\n

There are two formulas in the Bible. One is in the name of the Holy Trinity (Mt 28:19) and the other into the name<\/strong> of the Lord Jesus (Acts 19:5). The name of Jesus, Hebrew Yehoshua, means the Lord God is salvation.<\/p>\n

In the renewal of baptism, which has a character of John\u2019s baptism of repentance<\/span>, you can use the second formula: \u201cDo you renew your baptism into the divine name of Yehoshua (Jesus) and in Him receive the forgiveness of sins and your salvation?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The person to be baptized answers: \u201cI DO.\u201d<\/em> And then water is poured on him three times or he is immersed in water three times. (see baptism in Kiev and Ukraine https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?p=6291<\/a>)<\/p>\n

On this day, 6 July, after the renewal of baptism, read several chapters from the Bible, Acts of the Apostles. Continue in the following days, reading the Gospel of John and other parts of the New Testament. Then you can read the Old Testament too. Beware of liberal interpreters and interpretations of the Bible. Even if you do not understand, continue reading, and you will understand later.<\/p>\n

The Pope\u2019s visit to Velehrad and 600th<\/sup> anniversary of the burning at the stake of the priest John<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prayer preparation: Set prayer guards from 20 June to 6 July 2015. Each volunteer shall choose one hour during the day and all shall pray daily during the so-called holy hour from 8 to 9 p.m. During this time it would be good to pray according to Ezekiel 37 (prophetic prayer \u2013 https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?p=9812<\/a>) or Mk 11:23 (see https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?p=9943<\/a>). People should pray not only for the renewal of the nation but also for Pope Francis who will visit Velehrad on 5 July 2015. May he set an example of repentance there for the whole Church! This is the most important thing.<\/strong> Let the fire of repentance burn at Velehrad too and Francis should symbolically throw three books into this fire. By throwing the first book he will make it manifest that he renounces all heresies on his own behalf and on behalf of the whole Church<\/span>. By throwing the second book he will renounce magic, divination and neopaganism<\/span>, i.e. syncretism, on his own behalf and on behalf of the whole Church. By throwing the third book he will renounce immorality which is against the law of God<\/span>, again on his own behalf and on behalf of the whole Church. This will be the greatest gesture in Francis\u2019 life connected with Velehrad, and it will be an example not only to the whole Catholic Church but to all Christians. A gesture of repentance to be made by the Czech Catholic hierarchy<\/span> shall be to give up the<\/strong> restitution of church property and to throw three books into the fire after the example of Francis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
