News of the Patriarchate's video: Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate

The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate is above all the voice of one crying in the wilderness. It has an apostolic and prophetic authority. We received Episcopal consecration under extraordinary circumstances in Ukraine, as monks with the rules of St. Basil the Great. We publicly announced our consecration to the Pope and other bishops on March 3, 2008 and explained the extraordinary situation. Pope Benedict XVI acknowledged our Episcopal consecration by tacit consent. Soon afterwards, several bishops founded the UO GCC Synod in order to defend orthodox doctrine against heresies. Especially between the years 2008 and 2010, we wrote appeals to Catholic bishops and cardinals and to some universities in Rome to renounce the heresies of neo-Modernism and syncretism and to confess the true Catholic faith. When the danger of apostasy culminated, on April 5, 2011 the seven bishops of the UO GCC established the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate. Its purpose is to defend the doctrine of faith and morals in the Church. We sent the Charter to Benedict XVI before May 1, 2011. Subscribe to BCP newsletters http://eepurl.com/gQZMTD
