Pastoral letter for the clergy (+ video)
Lvov (Ukraine), 24 April 2013
Dear bishops, religious and priests!
This year we celebrate the 1025th anniversary of the baptism of Kievan Russia by St. Vladimir. In the Lenten period we turn our eyes to the crucified Jesus. We perceive the importance of our own baptism as well as of Christianity in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. This year our Slavonic nations are exposed to strong pressure of demoralization connected with changes in legislation aimed at globalization and reduction of mankind, in other words autogenocide of nations. This is done above all by way of establishing gender ideology which destroys all moral, spiritual and Christian values. It advocates gender-reassignment surgery and, moreover, according to this ideology children in kindergartens are taught that they are neither boys nor girls but can choose who they want to be. That’s loss of reason!
The Word of Life – Rom 8:15 (28/4/2013 – 12/5/2013)
“For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear,
but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons,
by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!'”
Letter to the Vice President of Uruguay
Lvov (Ukraine), 12 April 2013
Danilo Astori
Vice President of Uruguay
Palacio Legislativo (Avda. de las Leyes) Montevideo, UruguayDear Mr Vice President,
we were greatly distressed to hear the news about 71 out of 92 deputies in the Lower House of Congress voting for the law on same-sex marriage on Wednesday 10 April. This means a wave of drastic changes for Uruguay which will be the greatest tragedy in the history of Your nation. Approval of the above-mentioned law as well as of adoption of children by homosexuals and lesbians is a process of autogenocide. What will the future of Your nation be like?
Establishment of a homosexual dictatorship, gender policy and the juvenile justice system are the most serious crimes against humanity, children and their parents. Unfortunately, this is the political line of all international institutions. The aim of this policy is simple: reduction of mankind.
Letter to the President of Uruguay
Lvov (Ukraine), 12 April 2013
President of Uruguay
José Mujica Cordano
Plaza Independencia 710 Montevideo, UruguayDear Mr President,
Your country was sorely tried by unrest and suffering in the past, and You Yourself have had long experience of suffering in prison during the military regime. In this letter we address You with a request that You should prevent suffering and tyranny which would result from the legalization of same-sex marriages.
Promotion of homosexuality has become a political line of international institutions such as the UN, EU and Council of Europe. In many countries, parents and children already know what is a homosexual dictatorship established by these institutions and national laws. But as for dire consequences of gay propaganda in the everyday life of society, children, youth and parents, these institutions are hypocritically silent. It is intended tyranny over the traditional heterosexual family.
The Word of Life – Rom 8:14 (14/4/2013 – 28/4/2013)
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.”
Reflection on Rom 8:11-13
Chapter eight of the Epistle to the Romans leads us into the mystery of deliverance from spiritual and physical slavery which is the consequence of the infection of original sin in us. Verses 1 and 2 speak of deliverance from the law of sin and death which is only possible through the law of the Spirit who gives life in Christ Jesus. The law as such means that something is repeated, a certain regularity. If we have received the Spirit of God, listen to His voice and obey it, following our conscience, we are not carnal people but spiritual. Verse 11 says that if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in us, He will also give life to our mortal bodies.
What does it mean to “give life”? Original sin influences both our body and soul. It arouses lusts of the flesh which make man into a slave. Its manifestation in the soul is selfishness and pride which likewise enslave man. The human spirit created in God’s image is in the innermost depths of the soul.
The Word of Life – Rom 8:12-13 (31/3/2013 – 14/4/2013)
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors – not to the flesh,
to live according to the flesh.
For if you live according to the flesh you will die;
but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.”
Intelligent Design in schools
Lvov (Ukraine), 23 March 2013
Members of the State Duma
Dear Sirs and Madams,
we address You with a request for complex wholesome changes in the school curriculum. We propose that the unscientific Darwinian theory should be eliminated and replaced by the theory of Intelligent Design. In accordance with reason, the wise and intelligent arrangement of the universe as well as of a simple cell testifies to the existence of an Intelligent Being. Modern science has disproved Darwinian fable which has gained ground solely for ideological reasons and has a negative impact on the moral life.
Nietzschean doctrine holding that those who are weak and less well adapted should die out became the basis for the Nazi theory of a superman. Darwin influenced the major Nazi ideologist A. Rosenberg. Sir Arthur Keith explains that in his treatment of the Jews, Hitler was only thoroughgoing in the application of the principles of Darwin’s evolutionary philosophy. This theory was also exploited by cynical capitalists who struggled to eliminate their weaker competitors.
O My people, come out from Babylon! /Isa 52:11/ (+ video)
Lvov (Ukraine), 21 March 2013
To priests and believers of all Catholic dioceses
Some people predict that the existence of the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate will nowadays become a model of decentralization of the Catholic Church. They speak about the formation of Catholic patriarchates similar to ones in the Orthodox Church: Bulgarian Patriarchate, Serbian Patriarchate, Romanian Patriarchate, Patriarchate of Constantinople, Patriarchate of Jerusalem… In this emergency situation, virtually every nation may establish its own patriarchate and separate from the apostatical Vatican centralization. The Vatican has ceased to fulfil its task of protecting the purity of faith and morals. It even leads the individual Catholic nations to spiritual and physical suicide through contemporary heresies and the spirit of neopaganism. Globalization gender-gay ideology promoted by the Lisbon Treaty destroys all moral values and Christianity. The current juvenile justice system imposes the cruellest tyranny on children by demoralization and satanization. These are crimes against humanity. Homosexuality and juvenile justice lead to autogenocide of Europe and Christian nations. The apostate hierarchy creates favourable conditions for these crimes and thus de facto approves of them by its silence or evasive phrases.
The confession form:
1) Do you believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for us, that means even for you and for your sins? Do you believe that on the third day He rose again historically and really?
Answer: (Yes, I do.)
2) Do you believe that there is salvation in no one else, only in Jesus Christ?
Answer: (Yes, I do.)
3) Do you renounce historical-critical theology and the spirit of atheism which is behind it?
Answer: (Yes, I do.)
An expression of thanks and a request
Lvov (Ukraine), 13 March 2013
Prime Minister of Hungary V. Orban Members of the Government of HungaryDear Prime Minister,
Dear Members of Government,
the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate thanks You on behalf of all sincere Christians of Europe for Your heroic struggle in the political arena for the moral, spiritual and Christian values of Your nation. Your courageous act of defending God’s laws is similar to the heroism of the Maccabees in the history of the chosen people. May Your fight for God and God’s law set a precedent against the “euro Antiochs” who are introducing paganism and demoralization of nations.
We express our thanks to all Members of Parliament who showed their courage once again on 11 March 2013 when they stood up for God and for their people by adopting just constitutional amendments defining the family as the union of man and woman and thus reinforcing national values.
An Appeal to the Head of the Vatican
Lvov (Ukraine), 16 March 2013
Holy father Francis
Città del Vaticano
Holy father Francis,
whether You like it or not, You face the fact that owing to the gesture in Assisi and beatification of John Paul II the Catholic Church changed her doctrine and received a gospel different from that preached by St. Paul or the other Apostles. This new doctrine promotes syncretism with pagan religions. Apart from some other public denials of the Gospel, John Paul II allowed the crosses in the Assisi churches to be removed and a statue of Buddha to be placed on the tabernacle and worshipped as God! It is flagrant apostasy! His apostatical thinking was followed by all Catholic bishops, priests and theologians who introduced a new teaching among the Catholic faithful holding that it is not necessary to preach Jesus Christ as the only God and Saviour. They started to teach that one does not need to receive and believe in Jesus to be saved because according to this new gospel all are saved in their own religion if their belief is sincere. However, this is contrary to the teaching of Jesus Christ, rejection of His redemptive death on the cross and dishonour on millions of martyrs.
Reflection on Rom 8:9-10
“But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.”
From the very beginning of chapter eight we can observe tension between the flesh and the Spirit. It points out a dividing line between carnal and spiritual man. The root of choosing between the flesh and the Spirit is deep in the human soul. One uses the powers of the soul – reason and will – to choose between the two. People who choose a selfish lifestyle, a life in the flesh, must remember that “he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption” (Gal 6:8). People who receive the Spirit of Christ change their life and are given the light and strength. This involves little self-denials, self-humiliation, walking in the truth and following of Christ every day. The fruit is peace and happiness even in hard situations, for these people have God as their helper.
The Word of Life – Rom 8:11 (17/3/2013 – 31/3/2013)
“If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,
He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies
through His Spirit who dwells in you.”
