Letter to the MPs of the State Duma of Russia
Lvov, 24 April 2011
State Duma of Russia
Council of State
Dear Sirs and Madams,
on the feast of Christ’s Resurrection we pray that God would grant You the power of the Spirit and unyielding perseverance and courage in a fight for the preservation of Christian and universal moral values.
On this occasion we would like to announce that on 5 April 2011 the Synod of Bishops of the Ukrainian orthodox Greek-Catholic Church proclaimed the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate, the first Patriarch elected being Archbishop Elijah A. Dohnal (65). The Patriarchate was established in response to the critical situation in the Catholic Church, in particular: violation of the saving faith and acceptance of a new teaching and different spirit which contradicts the fundamental truths of the Gospel and the Apostolic Tradition.
At the present time we are witnesses to shocking events that are directly related to the Russian nation. Between 1993 and 2000, 1260 children were “exported” from some Russian institutes to Italy for so-called adoption. These children disappeared without a trace soon after crossing the Italian border. Russian investigators who inquired into their lives found only 5 of them in adoptive families.
Almost at the same time when Russian investigators searched for traces of children in Rome, Naples and Genoa, the Italian Minister of the Interior Roberto Maroni presented a scandalous fact. He admitted that several hundred children – foreigners – disappear in Italy every year. The little immigrants are a “gold mine” for live goods dealers who sell their body organs – said Minister Maroni. He published formidable figures: between 1974 and 2008, 9802 children disappeared without trace in Italy, 8080 of whom were foreigners. In 2009, more than 400 out of 1320 children disappeared from the island of Lampedusa, where there are focal points for illegal immigrants. The blood of innocents cries out to God.
If You as government officials responsible for the Russian people and especially for the younger generation do not create effective mechanisms for education based on Christian principles, and do not ensure the protection of children and youth from juvenile justice, You will be to blame for silent genocide of the Russian nation. It is the very juvenile justice system which creates optimal conditions for criminal trafficking in children. Prohibit its establishment on the territory of Russia as soon as possible and abolish it authoritatively in the places where it has already been implemented by deceit.
Preservation of the Christian values nowadays is the only means of preservation of the nation. Through the Church a blessing comes upon the particular territory. If, however, the Church hierarchy falls into apostasy, it brings down a curse on the nation. Therefore, as representatives of a Christian nation, warn the supreme religious representative in Russia, Patriarch Cyril, not to let himself be manipulated by apostatic ecclesiastical circles and not to attend the upcoming beatification of the apostate John Paul II. Warn him that he must send no delegation to this action. This so-called beatification is in fact elevation of the spirit of Assisi – the spirit of antichrist – on the altar of the Church, and every Church leader who will attend it will bring God’s curse not only on himself but also on the whole nation which he represents. We believe that Your intervention with the Patriarch of Moscow will have great weight, so that neither he nor any Russian delegation attends the planned pseudo-beatification.
Fight for Your nation, protect the faith of the fathers and moral values.
Christ is Risen! He is risen indeed!
