Lvov (Ukraine), August 2, 2012

In this historic hour, the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate appeals to the Christians of all U.S. denominations. God will save American Christians through a constant prayer of faith. The means of salvation offered by God are also fasting and celebration of Sunday.

President Obama declared promotion of homosexualism to be a priority of U.S. foreign policy. The ideology of homosexualism is rebellion against God and His laws. It destroys all moral, spiritual and Christian values at the root and leads to autogenocide of the individual nations.

Lvov (Ukraine), 2 August 2012

In this historic hour, the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate appeals to European Christians of all denominations, and especially to Catholics.

This year we commemorate the 50^th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council. What is the fruit? The Catholic Church has adopted a so-called historical-critical method which denies the essential truths of salvation. It denies Christ’s redemptive sacrifice on the cross on Golgotha, His historical and real resurrection and divine inspiration of Scripture. The gesture of Pope John Paul II in Assisi in 1986 started the process of changing the Holy Spirit for the spirit of antichrist. The apostate hierarchy is to blame for the Christians of Europe having turned into tasteless salt.

1,000 years ago, Saint Vladimir accepted Christianity in Kievan Rus. The then territory included Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. Along with the laws of God he took over the European culture too. The family was stabilized, basic moral standards adopted in human relations, justice established and crimes punished. The nation received the saving faith in Jesus Christ. It found the meaning of life and suffering and gained the hope of eternal life, which is secured by faith in Jesus Christ.

Less than 100 years ago Communism began to gain ground on the territory, which was built on the ideology of Marx, German philosopher, who was a Satanist. Marx disguised his monstrous ideas with economic well-being and a vision of a classless society. The present-day society witnesses establishment of a worldwide globalization ideology that leads to autogenocide of the nations.

Catherine Ashton

High Representative of the Union

for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy

Dear Madam,

the European Union appointed You a commissioner to supervise the observance of human rights in Ukraine, in particular relating to discrimination against minorities and freedom of speech.

Our minority Ukrainian orthodox Greek-Catholic Church (UO GCC) has already for three years been subject to religious discrimination and prevented from being granted legal registration at the Ministry of Culture under artificial pretexts. In fact, the motive therefor is the competitive position of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church (UGCC) which does not wish our existence. Our Church has about 5,000 believers and is currently facing inflammation of religious enmity among the masses through the mass media.

Msgr. Cyril Vasil

Archbishop

Congregation for the Oriental Churches

Dear Monsignor,

we address ourselves to You with a complaint against the Archbishop of Lvov, Igor Voznyak, who sent a written request to the Lvov Regional Council, State Security Service of Ukraine, courts and police for a so-called objective examination of the Ukrainian orthodox Greek-Catholic Church (UO GCC). The true purpose of this “objective examination” is destruction of our UO GCC.

He launched a smear campaign in the journal Express and on the TV channel 12 LTV and inflamed religious hatred among the masses, which is a criminal offence violating the Ukrainian laws. The campaign impacted on other secular and religious journals too.

State authorities are abused by him:

1)     for discrimination against a religious minority;

2)     for violation of the fundamental human rights concerning freedom of conscience and religion;

3)     for giving preference to one religion over another one;

4)     for destructive efforts against the UO GCC on the basis of Your false information and unproven allegations.

MPs of Ukraine

Dear Sirs and Madams!

Vadim Kolesnichenko, a deputy of the Parliament of Ukraine, submitted a bill “On a ban on homosexual propaganda among children” (Law № 10290). His proposal provoked an immediate backlash from the UN and the EU. In case of its adoption Ukraine is under threat of sanctions and withdrawal of the “generous” offer of liberalization of the visa regime for Ukraine. On the day of the vote on this bill, Belgian gays organized a demonstration in Brussels against Ukraine. Also the European Court has warned Ukraine that it runs the risk of accusations on their part. They argue that this law contradicts the European Convention on Human Rights, the international charters and allegedly even the Constitution of Ukraine.

Head of State Security Service

Lviv Region

Dear Sir!

On 5 July 2012 we were informed by the Prosecutor of the Brody District that as from 10 July 2012 we will not be allowed to celebrate Divine Liturgies in the Church of St. Joseph in Pidhirtsi rented to our religious community of the UO GCC by the Lviv National Art Gallery. We ask where we shall celebrate the Divine Liturgy on the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, on the following Sunday (15 July) and on other Sundays and feast days? If we are not allowed to celebrate the Liturgy inside the church on 10 July, we shall perhaps celebrate it outside.

God’s Word says that we have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that is through Jesus crucified, and that we should walk in the newness of the Spirit. We who are united to Him in His death are the Mystical Body of Christ. Through His death we are dead to sin, but we have become dead to the law as well. We are unable to fulfil the requirements of God’s law with our own strength.

President of Ukraine

Viktor Yanukovych

Mr President,

we, members of the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate, make this appeal to You. The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate in Ukraine is a moral force which defends moral, spiritual and Christian values. The hierarchy of the Catholic Church headed by Cardinal Husar and Archbishop Shevchuk have already for three years manipulated the government agencies into transgressing the laws of Ukraine and preventing legal registration of the Ukrainian orthodox Greek-Catholic Church (UO GCC), which is part of the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate. UO GCC came into existence by separating from the UGCC headed by Cardinal L. Husar. The reason was Cardinal Husar’s proclamation of heresies. Our Church is no sect, as Cardinal Husar and his hierarchy label us. These hierarchs engage in intrigues to prevent the registration of our Church, exploiting state authorities for their own ends, which is contrary to the Ukrainian laws.

Lvov, 1 July 2012

Dear bishops, monks, priests and faithful of the Moscow Patriarchate!

There has not yet been such a tragedy in the entire history of the Orthodox Church on the Russian territory that a Patriarch would betray the Gospel and the saving faith. By an apostatical gesture in Astana on 30 May 2012, Patriarch Kyrill created unity with the spirit of paganism. For this betrayal of Christ’s Gospel and of the Orthodox Church he brought upon himself God’s anathema according to Gal 1:8-9. God deprived Patriarch Kyrill of His grace.

Members of the Parliament of Ukraine

Dear Sirs and Madams!

The draft law “On Amending Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Child Welfare” № 10625 is also designed to introduce amendments into the Law of Ukraine “On the Bodies and Services for Children and Special Facilities for Children”, and primarily to found “children’s villages”.

Lvov (Ukraine), 22 June 2012

Members of the Parliament of Ukraine

Dear Sirs and Madams,

the Parliament has registered a draft law “On Amending Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Child Welfare” № 10625 which establishes a mechanism for the juvenile justice system with its characteristic priorities. The right to the child, besides the natural parents and later on even in place of them, is given to different services, carers, foster parents or adoptive families. This legalizes criminal stealing of children.

MPs of Ukraine

Dear Sirs and Madams!

Today, homosexual lobbyists abuse the pressure of the European Union on Ukraine to make it adopt so-called anti-discrimination laws which in fact discriminate against the majority of the population. These laws will punish all who will protect their children from sexual abuse by homosexuals, transsexuals, paedophiles…

These laws include Bill № 10497-1 “On Employment” which gives priority to international agreements, including the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union which prohibits any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation.

The bill was adopted at first reading on 8 June 2012. Article 11 of the proposed law puts a ban on so-called “signs of discrimination” in the sphere of labour and imposes fines on employers the same as penalties for proliferation of advertising with signs of discrimination. For example, a headmaster who will refuse to accept for employment an AIDS-infected homosexual or lesbian will be fined for each refusal and, subsequently, released from employment.

Lvov (Ukraine), 14 June 2012
