2015 – 600th anniversary of the martyrdom of John Huss /An open letter to the Catholic and the Hussite hierarchies/
8 December 2014
Reverend hierarchs,
to begin with, I would like to greet You, especially those whom I have known since the time in the Litomerice seminary in 1966-1971. The upcoming year 2015 is a jubilee year in respect of the tragic event of burning at a stake of the priest John Huss.
At the beginning, let me point out the apostolic succession and anathema in brief: In 1995, U.S. citizen Husar unlawfully usurped power in the Greek Catholic Church in Ukraine (see Memorandum of three Metropolitans) and soon began to proclaim heresies publicly. For this reason, I and three other brothers of the Order of St Basil the Great received Episcopal consecration. The consecration was made public after a certain period, on 3 March 2008, and it was announced to Pope Benedict XVI. By his silence he, in fact, took account of our Episcopal consecrations!
On 5 April 2011, the Byzantine Patriarchate was established by the Synod of seven Bishops of the Ukrainian orthodox Greek Catholic Church (UOGCC).
On 1 May 2011, Pope Benedict and the Vatican fell under an anathema by reason of beatification of a heretical Pope. The Pope had received several alarming warnings beforehand.
The fruit of Modernism in the Catholic Church, condemned already by Pius X, was the emergence of the Hussite Church. Devout Catholics claim that some Hussites (former Catholic priests) even baptized in the name of the Czechoslovak Republic. Now there are various spiritual streams in the Hussite Church, including even so-called crypto-Catholics. Modernism has been reincarnated in the Catholic Church through false prophets, so-called theologians. Religious scholar Tomas Halik, who declares to be both this and that – a Buddhist and a Catholic, sets the tone for new religious thinking, and bishops consent to it by silence!
600th anniversary: 1 January 2015 will mark the beginning of the anniversary of the martyrdom of a Bohemian priest who was labelled by church pharisees as a heretic and burnt alive in Constance on 6 July 1415. The ashes were thrown into the Rhine so that the Czechs could not venerate his relics!
I believe that there are among You Catholics and Hussites who sincerely seek the truth, and although they are weary and dulled by the spirit of the world, deep in their hearts they feel pain and perceive that the present-day Church is no longer “the pillar of truth” and no longer has the Spirit of the apostles and martyrs.
How to celebrate this jubilee year? One can organize concerts, social gatherings or hold scholarly debates but this is not enough. The Apostle Paul says: “Become like me!” Paul died in the fight for the truth of Christ’s Gospel and so did the Bohemian priest John! May this Czech martyr, who sought a reform of priestly life, become a pattern for every sincere Catholic or Hussite.
They burned a moralizer at the stake but did not do penance! In what should one follow the example of John Huss today? In the willingness to seek the truth, to fight for the truth and even to lay down one’s life for its sake. Jesus is “the Way, the Truth and the Life” (Jn 14:6). The basis of salvation is that I admit my sin both before myself and before God and I receive by faith Jesus as my Saviour who died on the cross for me and for my sins! But this presupposes belief in the Divinity of Christ and in His real and historical Resurrection. This belief is excluded from Halik’s heretical theories regarding Christ’s redemptive death on the cross and His resurrection. Historical-critical method, which is now the foundation of the Catholic and Hussite theology, does not lead to salvation but to perdition. To seek the truth means to receive the true saving doctrine of the Gospel and the Spirit of Christ (cf. Rom 8:9).
To seek the truth means to break with the spirit of Assisi, the spirit of false syncretism with pagan religions and reverence for their demons. It is also necessary to break with the spirit of contemporary hidden occultism which penetrates into official medicine (see MUDr. Heřt K., et al: “Alternative Medicine, Options and Risks”, 1995, Prague). It is not only a question of homoeopathy, acupuncture with yin and yang or various other pseudo-scientific methods, which are contrary to the First Commandment, but also occult pseudospirituality (priest Ferda, Mr Paseka and various miraculous healers under the guise of Christianity). Not only every Catholic or Hussite but especially every bishop, religious and priest must repent of this. This is a fight for the truth of Christ’s Gospel!
Another field of the fight for truth is the fight for moral values. Transsexuality and homosexual immorality are being introduced into legislation in the Czech Republic by means of so-called gender ideology. Punishment for homosexuality – fire from heaven on Sodom (cf. Jud 1:7; 2 Pe 2:6) – is a warning for all generations. Homosexuality destroys Christianity in its essence. Every Catholic and Hussite must take a resolute stand on this issue in accordance with the Bible and orthodox tradition! To tolerate sin means to allow it to look for more and more victims (see Statistics of homosexuals in USA: 70% are carriers of AIDS, 70% of hepatitis B, 50% in the death cell are lesbians, 50% of all murders and suicides are committed by homosexuals, although the total number of homosexuals in society is marginal). Fight for the truth means to boldly call a sin a sin and juvenile justice an evil structure which steals children and turns them into mental and moral cripples in so-called professional business families, which children are shunted between. These pseudo families are, among others, made up of homosexuals, paedophiles and sadomasochists. To be silent on a crime is a crime! May true “God’s warriors and of His law” arise in the Czech nation in this jubilee year of the fight for truth!
The responsibility for the salvation of the Church and of the Czech nation from autogenocide rests on You! What should You do? Stand in the fight against the lies which cover up the evil juvenile justice system stealing children, against professional business families, which children are shunted between and in which they are morally and psychologically devastated (see Breivik in Norway – he cynically shot 70 people. In his childhood, he was “brought up” in these artificial families). Do fight for the truth and against trained armies of demagogues whose weapon is a professional lie destroying the truth. They have mediocracy in their hands. Make spiritual acts of terrorism against lies – see http://vkpatriarhat.org/en/?p=9334. Fight for the truth even at the price of martyrdom! May God’s warriors arise in the Czech Republic after the example of John Huss!
Fight for the truth in Your personal life too!
Make a promise to God in this jubilee year that throughout the year You will devote one hour daily to personal prayer, аnd try to stand in the truth before God’s face. Some may use a simple model of interior prayer (Mk 11:23, http://vkpatriarhat.org/en/?p=9334).
God will speak to each of You if You abide in the truth and in the presence of God! Try it and You will not regret it. After a year, You will see the fruits in Your life and in the lives of those to whom You should preach the Word of God! Then You will become the true leaven! The Spirit of God will show You the next stage of repentance if You make this first step of seeking the truth and fighting for its sake!
