Open Letter to Patriarch Kyrill
Lvov (Ukraine), 11 September 2012
Your Beatitude!
This letter is an appeal of the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate together with all the Orthodox faithful and all Christians who have at heart the salvation of their own souls, restoration of the Orthodox Church and preservation of moral values of the Russian nation. Please, resign from office! In Astana You completed the process of betrayal of Christ and of the Orthodox Church and brought down an anathema upon Yourself – i.e. God’s curse acc. Gal 1:8-9. On 30 May 2012, the grace of God was removed from You. You, moreover, bring down this curse on every Orthodox believer who remains in unity with You and Your apostasy.
Pope John Paul II and his successor Benedict XVI are to blame for a similar betrayal of Christ and of the Western Church. They both fell under the same anathema – i.e. excommunication by reason of accepting a different gospel and the spirit of Assisi – the spirit of antichrist. The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate publicly announced the anathema against Pope Benedict on 1 May 2011 and against You on 31 May 2012.
Today, the juvenile justice system removes children from families and gives them up for so-called adoption to homosexuals and paedophiles or even sells them for organs, and You are silent! Homosexuality destroys all moral, spiritual and Christian values, and You are silent!
And You are not only silent; at a meeting with the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in Moscow on 23 December 2009 You said: “We accept any human choice, including sexual orientation; it’s everyone’s private matter … we oppose all forms of discrimination against people of non-traditional sexual orientation.” Your statement is a betrayal of the Gospel and denial of the basic moral values (Gal 1:8-9). In fact, by this hypocritical attitude You open the door to spiritual and physical devastation of Russia through amoral homosexuality.
In Warsaw on 16-19 August 2012, You declared hypocritically: “Today we enter the path of spiritual and physical restoration … between the Churches and nations.” It is actually a path of spiritual decline and autogenocide of the Church and Russia. Moreover, in Your statement You put the accent on so-called tolerance. Nowadays, however, the term tolerance covers promotion of homosexuality and transsexuality.
The Orthodox Church has until recently been a bastion of orthodoxy and unlike the Catholic Church it has never permitted modern heresies or syncretism with paganism. So it was the greatest opposition to the immoral influences of homosexuality and juvenile justice.
Unless You resign from office, which You now hold unlawfully, the Russian nation loses its greatest spiritual and moral strength which it always found in the Orthodox Church. There is now a fight going on with the demonic forces that have paralyzed the Catholic Church by internal apostasy. The result is the current process of autogenocide of the Catholic nations.
By authority of Almighty God and in the name of Jesus Christ the Son of God crucified and risen, the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate appeals to You: Resign from office, which You hold unlawfully! Unless You do so, You will render an account before the judgment seat of God for autogenocide of the Orthodox Church and the Russian nation.
