God’s anathema upon Evangelical Waldensian Church in Italy

Lvov (Ukraine), 9 July 2011

To Representatives and Believers

of Evangelical Waldensian Church (Italy)

This Church has about 50,000 members. It interprets the Scripture according to so-called historical-critical theology which denies the inspiration of Scripture, Christ’s Divinity, His redemptive death on the cross as well as His real and historical Resurrection. This apostatical Church approves of the killing of unborn children – abortion – and even euthanasia. It gives a blessing to same-sex unions. The absolute majority of this Church is for gay marriage and supports perverse LGBT groups. On 26 August 2009, the representatives of this Church approved same-sex unions. On 26 June 2011, they officiated at a wedding of two homosexuals in Milan and thus created a precedent.

They thus rejected God’s laws and the authority of God the Creator and Supreme Law-giver. They no longer call evil evil, a sin a sin, an abomination an abomination. They exchanged the truth for a lie and turned the Church of God into a synagogue of Satan (Rev 2:9).

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): Evangelical Waldensian anti-Church of Italy 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) and 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 cast this curse upon the Evangelical Waldensian anti-Church in Italy.
