God’s anathema upon the Swiss Reformed Church

Lvov (Ukraine),12 July 2011

To Representatives and Believers

of the Swiss Reformed Church

The Synod of Clergy in the Canton of Basel agreed to make blessings available for immoral same-sex couples. It also resolved to permit gay and lesbian priests.

You thus reject God’s laws and the authority of God the Creator and Supreme Lawgiver. You no longer call evil evil, a sin a sin, an abomination an abomination. You exchanged the truth for a lie and turned the Church of God into an assembly of Satan (Rev 2:9).

The apostatical Swiss Church has ceased to be a blessing for the nation and brings down a curse and self-destruction upon it as well as upon all Europe.

The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate, by authority of the apostolic and prophetic office before God and before the Mystical Body of Christ, which is the true Church of Christ, hereby declares before all Christians of the world (Mt 18:18): The Swiss Reformed anti-Church is no longer the Church of Christ but spiritual Babylon and the harlot of antichrist (Rev 17:1-6). We hereby call upon every member of this Church to be converted, to repent and to go out from that spiritual Babylon (Isa 52:11). The spirit of antichrist cast the Spirit of God out of this Church. All who want to be saved must separate from this anti-Church because it leads the deceived souls to eternal damnation in hell. This anti-Church has become a synagogue of Satan (see Rev 3:9; Rev 2:20-24) because it preaches a different gospel. “Even if an angel from heaven should preach any other gospel to you, let him be accursed.” (Gal 1:8-9) By reason of apostasy from the Gospel of God, God has cast this curse upon the Swiss Reformed anti-Church.
