Perestroika Hoax Continues:

Today Ukrainian Priests Imprisoned for Saying Mass, Hearing

Confessions
by Coralie Graham, Editor
This report is based on an interview with Joseph Terelya, founding
member of the Ukrainian underground Church and one of the world's
best known prisoners of conscience.
He was in Soviet labor camps for 23 years for the "crime" of being a
Catholic.

If Gorbachev is sincere, if Perestroika is real, why does he still enslave 8

million Christians in Concentration camps today? They are a forgotten people

by the world, shifted around from one camp to another, nameless, known
only by a number, so that the world might lose track of them, forget them.
In the Ukraine alone there are still over 210 Concentration camps with
thousands and thousands of Catholics still enslaved.
Their "crime" was to have allowed someone to know that they would "like to
be free in their belief", says Joseph.
They remain slaves to this day, starved, beaten, tortured, raped, being used
for medical guinea pigs and abusive and inhuman slave labor.
But perhaps the most shattering indignity they suffer is knowing how
America has welcomed Gorbachev and his Communist regime with open
arms, gullibly swallowing his fables of religious freedom in Communist
Russia, yet he is the very man who is responsible for their inhuman and
godless persecution.
Thinking we are gullible enough to have forgotten about our enslaved
brothers and sisters, they do not want to mar their new world image of
being 'almost converted' so they have also established "light jails".
A Catholic Priest (today mind you) who is caught saying Mass or hearing
Confessions is fined 100 Rubles and sentenced to 15 days imprisonment in
these "light jails". Their crime is that they are not considered to be valid
priests because they are under the Pope.
In order to be registered as a priest they must reject the Pope and join the
Moscow Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church which is controlled by
the Communist KGB priests. Of course in order to join the Russian Orthodox
Church you must first sign a document pledging allegiance to the State first,
then God.
True Catholic priests are therefore not allowed to celebrate Mass in
their own Cathedrals and Churches. Holy Mass and Confessions are
administered in the forests.
These courageous Ukrainian Catholics are now coming above-ground to
plead their case to the world. "It is time", they say, "that the world knew."
"The Persecution of the Church is greater under Gorbachev today
than it was under Stalin," says Joseph Terelya. Not only have
Gorbachev and his atheistic communists tried to annihilate the

Church in the Ukraine, but they actually have a plan to annihilate the
entire Ukraine people if they continue to resist the Communists.
