Notification to the Heads and representatives of the states of Europe and the world
Lvov, Ukraine, 5th May 2011
Dear Sirs and Madams,
the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate feels obliged to truthfully inform You about a radical change that took place in the Catholic Church as a result of the so-called beatification of Pope John Paul II.
By the beatification of the spirit of Assisi – the spirit of apostasy – Pope Benedict XVI excommunicated himself from the Church of Christ.
As from 1st May 2011, the Church has found herself in a sedes vacantis state. This means that the Apostolic See is vacant, and the apostate Pope is now occupying the office illegally.
In this critical situation the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate protects the orthodox teaching of the Catholic Church. Only after an orthodox Catholic hierarchy and an orthodox successor to the Papacy is elected, will the Patriarchate be relieved of this God-given duty.
John Paul II denied the fundamental truths of the Christian faith and the teaching of the Church. By his apostatical gesture in Assisi he degraded faith in the redemptive sacrifice of Jesus Christ to the level of a respect to pagan demons. The Holy Scripture and the prophets call respect for demons an abomination and spiritual fornication which brings down God’s curse.
By the beatification of John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI officially installed the rule of antichrist in the Church. The hierarchy has lost its basic mission – to preach the Gospel and to ensure the eternal salvation of immortal souls. In the current state of apostasy the Catholic hierarchy not only draws down a curse on itself, but also on entire nations.
Priests who will not separate themselves from the spirit of Assisi and the apostatical hierarchy, as from 1st May 2011 celebrate the liturgy and administer the sacraments invalidly. It is just a pious performance and, moreover, they bring down a curse on the faithful Catholics.
What is the solution? Nowadays for each one of the orthodox Catholics it is a necessity to separate from the priests who stubbornly remain in unity with the apostatical hierarchy.
The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate calls on the governments’ representatives to secede from the source of apostatical infection and curse into which has turned the treacherous Catholic hierarchy, now along with Pope Benedict. The duty of politicians is, for the benefit of the nation, not only to separate from this spirit of apostasy but also to sustain the process of revival in the Catholic Church. We know from painful experience that the apostatical hierarchy abuses its connections in high places and manipulates the government officials through bribery in order to nip in the bud the revivalist movement and discriminate orthodox believers.
