An appeal for resignation of Metropolitan Vladimir

Lvov (Ukraine), 10 November 2013

To Synod of Bishops of UOC-MP

Your Excellencies,

Metropolitan Vladimir bears responsibility for a resolution that caused serious harm to the Orthodox Church as well as to the Ukrainian nation.

1)     It concerns the signing of an appeal to the citizens (September 2013) which encourages the believers to join the EU. The EU ideology elevates homosexuality as a priority. Homosexuality denies all moral, spiritual and Christian values. Bishops, priests and believers cannot promote a system which is purely antichristian and demonic.

2)     On 10 November 2013, the evil mechanism of the juvenile justice system – so-called business foster families – were received with approval in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. Metropolitan Vladimir gave his blessing to it. This gesture of prayers de facto enables the believers to start to be actively involved in this evil business system of child stealing. In the first stage it will be a business with orphans and in the second stage with artificial orphans, i.e. children stolen by the social services from happy families on fabricated charges. Children will be shunted between business families and then sold to the West, primarily to homosexuals, paedophiles and some even to traders in human organs. To promote child abuse under the guise of a so-called day of prayers is a serious crime!

These two gestures directed against the Church and faith are a clear sign that Metropolitan Vladimir can no longer hold a responsible position. The Synod must appeal to the Metropolitan to resign as soon as possible and elect a new Metropolitan. The parameters that nowadays determine the choice of the candidate:

1)     He must not incline towards modern heresies of the West or to pernicious syncretism with pagan religions (the spirit of Assisi, the spirit of Astana).

2)     He must be a man of faith and prayer, ready to fight and even sacrifice his life for the sake of Christ and His Church.

3)     He cannot be a member of the Order of St Michael or other Masonic associations or be in unity with the Masons.

4)     He must stand up against gender-gay ideology and homosexuality. He must defend the institution of the family and oppose the evil juvenile justice system.

5)     He must be clear about the First Commandment of the Decalogue. It concerns covert forms of occultism, such as divination, magic, hypnosis, extrasensory individuals, spiritual healers, occult forms of alternative medicine, homoeopathy, acupuncture, Chinese massage, energy healing etc.

6)     He must distinguish among modern spiritual tendencies and have a grasp of the spiritual fight. This is not possible without the spirit of prayer and total dedication to Christ.

7)     He must be able to bring about a spiritual awakening by reviving the spiritual and prayer life of the clergy.

The new Metropolitan should try to maintain unity with the Russian Orthodox Church.

Venerable Fathers of the Holy Synod, You now face the following tasks:

1)     Election of a new Metropolitan

2)     Patriarch Kirill brought down on himself God’s anathema acc. Gal 1:8-9 for a betrayal of the faith by his apostatical gesture in Astana (2012) and for other serious gestures of betrayal. You have a duty to appeal to Patriarch Kirill to resign. In case he boycotts You, inform him about the establishment of an autonomous Ukrainian Patriarchate. The blame for this painful division will not lie with You but with him.

3)     Write a pastoral letter, each of You in Your own diocese, in which You will warn Your believers against the establishment of business foster families and against eurosodomy.

You ask who we are? We answer with the Apostle: “We are “moroi dia Christón” (1Cor 4:10), “the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” (cf. Isa 40:3f; Mt 3:2f). Return to the living God! Bring down a blessing and not a curse on the Ukrainian nation!

We commemorate the anniversary of the Baptism of Kievan Russia. May You receive the light and strength from the Spirit of God to fulfil these tasks for the good of the Church and nation.

In Christ,

+ Elijah

Patriarch of the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate
