An appeal to ex-Pope before death

Msgr. Joseph Ratzinger
Ex-Pope
Your Eminence,
we are writing to You at this time of the culmination of Lent, when Christians turn their eyes to the cross of Christ, approaching Good Friday, the day of Christ’s death, and the dawn of glorious Christ’s resurrection.
Being a young theologian, You were an adviser (peritus) to Vatican II. In 1982, You were appointed by John Paul II as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (of crucial importance among the Congregations). In 2005, You were elected Pope. At the time when You were a Prefect, Your opponents called You “Iron Cardinal” who was about to stage a coup in the Church. We often referred to Your book “An Exclusive Interview on the State of the Church”. When You became Pope, we were convinced that You were going to do the most important thing: start the reform in the field of orthodoxy and implement a practical programme of holiness highlighting the life of prayer, fellowship, repentance and true following of Christ. The most urgent need was to make the Church the salt and the light of the world again even at the cost of martyrdom of many!
In early 2011, it was already very likely that You would not manage to resist the extreme psychological, indeed demonic, pressure into beatification of the heretical Pope John Paul II! We wrote to You more than 10 letters, in which we warned and beseeched You not to take that step of Your own apostasy and apostasy of the Church, even if You should die a martyr. Our Bishops’ Synod sought a solution in that critical situation. The solution was the establishment of the Byzantine Patriarchate (BP) on 5 April 2011. Its purpose is to defend the truths of the faith and to preserve them not only for Catholics but also for other orthodox Christians. On 1 May 2011, beatification of John Paul II elevated a new thinking and a new spirit on the altar of the Church – the spirit of antichrist which goes hand in hand with neo-Modernism and syncretism. Whoever surrenders to this apostate spirit is under God’s curse – anathema – acc. Gal 1:8-9. The gesture of beatification caused an anti-Gospel and anti-Tradition to get into the heart of the Church which is contrary to the two thousand year orthodox Church Tradition.
The Byzantine Patriarchate was forced to declare an anathema on You because of that suicidal move You made in relation to Yourself as well as the whole Catholic Church! At the same time, this Patriarchate made public a posthumous anathema on John Paul II. Pope Honorius was posthumously declared a heretic in the 7th century for his silence on the heresy of Monotheletism. Our Patriarchate declared the anathema by authority of the apostolic and prophetic office (Eph 2:20).
Your Eminence, Benedict XVI, be aware that You are 88 years old this year. God still gives You the chance to repent (cf. Heb 3:7). He will soon call You to stand before His judgment seat! This decides Your personal life after death, whether it will continue in heaven or in eternal damnation in hell! Your penance, however, cannot be just private! You are obliged to do public penance. You must annul the beatification of John Paul II and clearly tell the truth about the so-called historical-critical method promoting heresies against the fundamental truths of the faith. Moreover, You must renounce and condemn the spirit of Assisi which advocates syncretism with paganism and its demons. Make Your statement clear and not ambiguous!
We pray for You and hope that the anathema declared by the Byzantine Patriarchate helped You become conscious of the crime You had committed.
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!
