The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg

Dear representatives of the European Court of Human Rights,

You certainly are all familiar with the appalling case of the Russian actress Natalie Zakharova who was unlawfully deprived of her 3-year-old daughter Masha by the juvenile justice system in France. The mother has claimed her parental rights already for 13 years, demanding that her child should be returned to her. At present, Masha is kept in a wall-type institution at an unknown place on the territory of France.

The French courts staged a trial and sentenced the innocent mother to three years’ imprisonment on the ground that she demanded the return of her daughter. They hypocritically justified it by stating that she allegedly had the intention of setting fire to the apartment of her ex-husband. On 26 May 2011, she was transported to Russia as a prisoner.

Dear Mr President, dear Sirs and Madams,

we hereby announce to You that on 5 April 2011 the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate was proclaimed. Archbishop Elijah (65) was appointed the first Patriarch.

The seat of the Patriarchate is in Lvov, Ukraine.

By establishment of the Patriarchate built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets God has offered a solution for all true Catholics even outside Ukraine.

Your Holiness,

in an extraordinary assembly of 5 April 2011, the Bishops’ Synod of the Ukrainian orthodox Greek-Catholic Church considered the critical situation in the Catholic Church and violation of the saving faith. The tragedy is that many Catholic believers as well as the hierarchy accept a new teaching and a different spirit which is contrary to the fundamental truths of the Gospel and the Apostolic Tradition.

The response of the Synod to this catastrophic state was establishment and proclamation of the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate. Its purpose is to give patronage to all believers who desire to preserve the sacred deposit of the Catholic faith, regardless of nationality or belonging to any of the Catholic Churches or traditions.

Dear Catholic faithful,

the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate is turning to You in this historic moment. At present, the spiritual and physical future of Slovakia is being decided. Western Catholic Church is experiencing a great spiritual crisis and moral decay. During the Pope’s visit to the U.S. or Australia, no sooner did he deplane than he apologized for paedophiliac scandals caused by priests and bishops. 160,000 Catholics struck off their names from the Church in Germany last year and 60,000 in Austria. Jehovah’s Witnesses and other sects, catch mainly lukewarm Catholics in masses. In 2009, Ireland was about to decide for or against the enactment of the so-called Lisbon Treaty which has put on the first place propaganda of homosexuality.
