Czech Bishops’ Conference and 600th anniversary of the burning at the stake of John Huss
26 March 2015
To members of the religious organization CBK
Monsignor,
surely You can perceive how recently a new spirit blows through the “holy” Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis I who has been canonized already during his lifetime. They both represent an anti-Gospel and anti-Tradition. Compared to the “heresy” of John Huss, both of them would have been burned at the stake a hundred times if they had lived in the Middle Ages. Concerning the last three Popes, the Byzantine Patriarchate just made public the reality, i.e. anathema – God’s curse – acc. Gal 1:8-9 for their preaching of a different gospel.
600 years ago, the Church hierarchy (there were three Popes at the time) in unity with state power removed an undesirable preacher who chastised the scandalous life of priests and prelates. He who wants to beat the dog will always find a stick.
Will the truth prevail after 600 years? Will prelates give John Huss at least the title of “a martyr for the truth and moral values”? Or will they continue to interpret his biography from the perspective of purpose rather than truth?
An example of manipulation nowadays: Bishop Hučko from CBK needed to destroy his competitor “Ukrainian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church”. He falsely accused it of “religious intolerance” (which applies to him) and “demonic possession” (which also applies to him). Instead of granting this Church legal registration at the Ministry of Culture he outlawed it. Minister of Culture Herman, an apostate priest, performed the role of an executor.
As early as 2003, prelate Hučko stole the Basilian monastery in Sázava and sold it. Moreover, he stole a small house in Smíchov, 35 Přímá St. from the widow K. Šutková and is in possession of it until this day. If history was captured by his pen, it would not be recorded objectively but only subjectively and tendentiously. A criminal can cleverly present his victim as a criminal. This was the case with John Huss. If Hučko had lived in the Middle Ages, he would have burned his opposition at the stake and it would all be done on the basis of formal religious arguments and all would refer to them. One need not talk about manipulation of truth, especially today. Unfortunately, there are few fighters for the truth after the example of the preacher from the Bethlehem Chapel.
Will the present-day Czech Church rehabilitate this preacher of repentance, or will it hypocritically appeal to the so-called experts in history who labelled this martyr as a heretic? But how will these prelates explain canonization of the archheretic John Paul II? The vital question here is the question of the spirit! Of what kind of spirit was John Huss and of what kind those who sought to remove him? Who sought to defend the truth and who to kill the truth? Who defended moral values and who the abuses? We know that the end of undesirable prophets was the same as his – moral or even physical death. Jesuit historians argue that Huss did not promote the truth but he was proud and sought to gain prestige. Growing in Catholic environment, our minds were instilled with the fixed idea about John Huss being a paradigm of a dangerous heretic who had to be burned at the stake. We are told that the evidence is the Hussite wars, burnt down monasteries etc. The answer to this is the question: What about the Crusades? It is necessary to distinguish between Huss and the Hussites and between Christ and the Crusaders! It is expected that the approach of the prelates to the question of John Huss will be the same as in the past, and they will refuse to admit the core of the truth. St. Catherine of Siena called such prelates “devils incarnate”.
John Huss deserves to be presented to the Czech people in this anniversary year of his martyrdom in a true light as a model of a fighter for truth. If only an army of God’s prophets and true apologists rose in the Church! If only bold truth-loving personalities spoke out in the Czech Republic as a prototype in all spheres of personal and social life!
A true reform of society is not just a matter of economy but also of the preservation of moral and national values. If the truth about a righteous and honest life and sound interpersonal relationships, but also the truth about spiritual infection (evil) in our heart is manipulated by lies, the consequence is moral decay of the individual and society, tensions and wars (example: Ukraine…). The present-day society trains experts on lies instead of fighters for the truth and moral values. In terms of religion, these experts on lies are false prophets – heretical theologians, and in terms of secular society various psychologists, demagogues and other deceitful experts at killing the truth and moral values. Usually it is not until there is a disaster that they are exposed as liars.
What to do?
1) You, Your Excellency, represent Christ, the Incarnate Truth. You cannot serve two masters – God and the devil, the Spirit of truth and the spirit of lies! Repent in earnest, stop and take the time to devote at least one hour to interior prayer every day when You will stand before God, in His presence. In prayer, think of the fundamental truths concerning Your death, salvation or damnation, and of the contemporary heresies which destroy Christianity at the root. Following the example of the martyr John, rise to fight for the truth and moral values! Do not be silent on the immoral gender ideology and the stealing and devastation of children! If You make this heroic step, God will show You what to do next.
2) Be a fighter for the Divine truth and law; stand against the apostate structure which betrayed the truth. This will require Your mental and spiritual heroism and martyrdom. Speak out as a team of bishops and declare the clear truths of the faith as proclaimed by Christianity over two thousand years. Dissociate Yourself from the heresies of neo-Modernism which destroys the essence of Christianity. These heresies were already condemned by St Pius X. It is also necessary to condemn false reverence for paganism and its demons – syncretism (Nostra Aetate 1965 and Assisi 1986). The Word of God condemned such reverence and the prophets called it “spiritual fornication”. Neo-Modernism and syncretism are two greatest modern heresies which destroy Christianity at the root. They have opened the door to the spirit of the New Age and cast out the Holy Spirit. These two heresies destroy the immune system in the Mystical Body of Christ – the Church. The result is the spread of the infection of immorality associated with gender ideology, homosexualism and mental, moral and physical abuse of children stolen within the juvenile justice system (e.g. in Norway, 59 children removed from their parents commit suicide per year).
3) On Sunday 5 July 2015, the feast of Sts Cyril and Methodius, declare a “Charter of the Fundamental Truths of the Catholic Faith” and appeal to the apostate Vatican to repent. Do not wait any longer! You will thus bring Yourself and the Czech people from under an anathema which has graver consequences than the artificial interdict placed on Bohemians in the time of John Huss. Today, the Vatican brought down on itself an anathema, and if anyone is subordinate to it, this anathema falls on him too, both on the nations and individuals. By confessing the fundamental truths and dissociating itself from heresies and the spirit of apostasy, the Czech Church and nation will receive the light and grace to set a precedent for other formerly Christian nations to do the same. Proclaim an independent Czech patriarchate which will not be back under the jurisdiction of the Vatican until the Vatican starts to repent in earnest. An operation is often necessary in order to save life!
4) On Monday 6 July 2015, the day of his 600th tragic anniversary, declare John Huss a martyr and apologize on behalf of the Czech Church for the crime of unjust and sly burning at a stake of this Catholic priest in Constance on 6 July 1415.
May true adherents of John Huss rise among the clergy as well as among genuine people in the Czech Republic! Then this country will be a model for the salvation of Western Europe which is heading for self-destruction due to its antilaws, homosexuality, paedophilia, zoophilia, narcomania, juvenile justice and euthanasia. May “God’s warriors and of His law” arise in the Czech nation in this jubilee year!
The flag over the Prague Castle bears the inscription “Truth Prevails”. Truth can be suppressed or distorted by half-truths but it will prevail and defeat the lies in the end. The ultimate victory will be on the Day of Judgment. The lies will be defeated and the truth will prevail once and for all.
Conclusion:
Joan of Arc was burned at the stake as a heretic and declared a saint afterwards. Even if the martyr John was declared a saint this year, it is not enough unless You resolve this year to be a saint, i.e. a fighter and martyr for truth!
