“Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus

were baptized into His death?”

(18 Mar – 1 Apr 2012)

To the question whether we do not know we can reply that really we do not know the nature of sin, Christ’s death or baptism. The question “Or do you not know…” encourages us to appreciate a certain mystery revealed to us in God’s Word in the context of liberation from sin, i.e. death to sin (cf. v.2), the death of Christ and baptism.

President of Belarus

Alexander Lukashenko

Dear Mr President,

the press has reported that the EU approved sanctions against Belarus, and the European ambassadors were recalled from Your country. German diplomacy chief, an overt homosexual who ostentatiously shows himself off with his gay partner, has called You the last dictator.

Lvov (Ukraine), 1 March 2012

Owing to systematic brainwashing by the mass media, the majority of the Ukrainian population, and especially youth, have uncritically embraced the vision of “paradise” called the European Union. The fact is that true information about this “paradise” is deliberately concealed and all the mass media, controlled from abroad, keep psychologically manipulating the public into eagerly joining this system of immorality and antilaws, though there is no way back. What is the true face of this “paradise” called the European Union?

President, Government and Parliament of Russia

Dear Mr President,

Dear Members of the Government and Parliament,

in 2010, 100,000 children were sold from Russia to the United States. Now it is planned to remove children from 180,000 families.

The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate turns to the Russian government and all members of the Duma with an urgent appeal: Start to protect the moral and spiritual values of the individual, family and society, or the Russian nation will end with autogenocide! Forbid the criminal juvenile justice system in all its forms. Begin to punish local as well as international criminals of the social services, juvenile justice terrorists and pirates of the probation service who sell children abroad to homosexuals, paedophiles or even for organs! We ask: Who specifically is responsible for these massive crimes against Russian children? It is necessary to condemn by law this criminal system of the stealing of children. It is necessary to find the culprits and punish them with the most severe penalties, even if they hold high positions in government offices.

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?”

(4-18 Mar 2012)

These two questions respond to verse 20 which says: “Where sin abounded, grace abounded much more.” We cannot sin and say: grace will abound much more! That’s wrong!

CDU/CSU Party Leadership

Dear Christian politicians,

the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate hereby appeals to You, provided You still consider Yourselves a Christian party, to advocate if not Christian, then at least moral and human values.

Several days ago, German President, Christian Wulff, resigned from office. Subsequently, A. Merkel came to the centre of attention.

Along with the promotion of homosexualism, perverted transsexuality extended massively under the term “gender equality”. Children in kindergartens are brainwashed into believing that they are neither boys nor girls. In schools, teachers hammer it in the pupils that they can freely choose their so-called “gender identity” regardless of the reality and then undergo gender reassignment surgery. This is an ideology that turns the young generation into mentally and physically crippled people who, falling into bondage of sexual perversion, will be infected with AIDS, become victims of narcotics and eventually of euthanasia. This is the current “spiritual renewal” of the German nation and Europe.

To Eastern Patriarchs and Bishops

The essence of the papacy is defence of the apostolic faith and morals. In the first millennium, the Pope did not interfere in the internal affairs of the individual church communities. Each of these communities dealt with liturgical, spiritual and disciplinary matters by itself.

Lvov, 15 February 2012

The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate is obliged before God, before all Christians and before the Ukrainian nation to tell you a clear word for the sake of your salvation and salvation of Ukraine.

Lvov (Ukraine), 10 February 2012

The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate hereby calls You to do public penance for crimes against the faith and morals and for offence You caused not only to the Catholic Church but to all Christians.

Lvov (Ukraine), 10 February 2012

President of Ukraine V. Yanukovych

Prime Minister M. Azarov

Chairman of Parliament V. Litvin

Dear representatives of the Ukrainian nation,

we have come to read unclear information about ex-Pope Benedict XVI planning to visit Ukraine. If this information is true, we have to point out: the visit to Ukraine by ex-Pope Benedict XVI is of no benefit.

Lviv, Ukraine, 11 February 2012

The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate appeals to the nations of Europe that are not part of the EU, but are incorporated into the system of the Council of Europe (CoE). These nations have their roots in the Eastern Christian tradition. This is specifically: Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia and also the nations of former Yugoslavia: Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Macedonia.

“…so that as sin reigned in death,

even so grace might reign through righteousness

to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Lvov, 9 February 2012

President, Government and Parliament

of Ukraine and Russia

Dear Sirs and Madams!

We, representatives of the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate, are turning to You, representatives of the nation. This historic hour decides the future of two Slavonic nations which for centuries have been united through the Christian faith received at solemn baptism of St. Vladimir in Kiev.

History witnessed painful moments, too, that undermined the relationship between the two nations. It was mainly associated with Stalinist gulags, famine… The totalitarian structure that ruled both territories ceased to exist.

Lvov (Ukraine), 9 February 2012

Dear Presidents,

dear MEPs,

the whole European culture was built on the moral and spiritual values rooted in the Decalogue and the Gospel. This Christian culture was transmitted to America, Australia and Africa. But now the so-called Lisbon Treaty has been ratified which has become an anti-Decalogue built on rebellion against God and God’s laws. The fruit is demoralization, demonization, curse and both temporal and eternal death. Constant amendments to the laws abuse the last remnants of democracy to pave the way for the harshest totalitarian system throughout history.
