Promulgation of excommunication upon religious superiors in SR
On 12 December 2009 the Slovak bishops were appealed to confess the faith and to renounce heresies by 25 December 2009. They did not do so. For that reason they incur the penalty of excommunication and anathema.
On 30 December 2009 we sent this appeal to teachers at theological faculties, asking them to confess the faith and to renounce heresies by 20 January 2010. They did not confess the faith and remained in unity with heresies, for which reason they excommunicated themselves from the Church and fell under God’s anathema according to Gal 1:8-9.
On 31 December 2009 we turned even to You, religious superiors, with this appeal to confess Your Catholic faith and to renounce the contemporary heresies which destroy the essence of the Catholic faith. We asked You to do so by the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord (2 February 2010).
The present-day religious institutes are undergoing a deep crisis. They have become the greatest obstacle to conversion, repentance and the following of Christ. Today the religious institutes have turned into the breeding ground for the spirit of New Age, the breeding ground for spiritual decay of the Catholic Church. In this extremely hard time the religious vows of chastity, poverty and obedience are a mockery. Obedience is abused to warp the conscience.
The reason for our appeal was the very awareness of the fact that unless the religious of the Slovak Republic (SR) dissociate themselves from the contemporary heresies and unless they confess the faith, this spiritual AIDS will infect all Slovakia.
Since You as religious superiors did not confess the Catholic faith and did not renounce heresies and the spirit that is behind them by 2 February 2010, You completed Your apostasy from Christ as well as from the Church according to Gal 1:8-9. Those who are subject to You must know that they can no longer obey You as You are heretics and apostates.
If You will persist in obstinacy and not repent, and if You will die in this state, You will be eternally condemned.

If only this painful operation brought recovery of other religious and if only they could choose sincere men in Your place, men who give first place to Christ and are ready even to sacrifice their lives for the sake of Him and His bleeding Mystical Body. If only these new superiors in Slovakia could become a pattern of a true reform which they would start from themselves and in the place where God has put them.
If only You could show true repentance, confess the faith, renounce heresies, voluntarily resign from Your offices and ask the Holy Father to receive You back into the Church. You will thus set an example to the weak and deceived religious.
