 A letter of love and respect
As the Easter approaches and the invitations of attending the Mass are being distributed, some invitations have reached president Mohammed Morsy and his people. Therefore, I want to send a letter of love and respect to our beloved Pope Tawadros. 
 
Dear Pope, I think that many Coptic Christians agree with me that such initiations may be refused or even ignored by the receiver who may be totally rejected by many people of yours. Therefore, I believe that Dr. Morsy will never accept the invitation that contradicts with his beliefs like the Easter.
 
Additionally, such invitation is just wrong as prayers should be sought by the people who want to draw close to God. As for those who want to congratulate us on the Easter, they can pay Your Holiness a visit at the papal residence at any time.
 
I hope that Your Holiness may listen to the demands of Your people, and start repairing the church from inside, according to your promises. 
 
One of those reforms needed is to carefully choose your company and consultants. You may pick some professional advisors like Dr. Emad Gad, Mornir Fakhry, Morad Wahba…etc. 
 
I may refer to Bishop Armia who despite having nothing to do with the papal secretary anymore, he appears in most official visits, especially those involved with the Muslim Brotherhood.
 
Let me tell Your Holiness that those people have arranged a meeting between the late Pope Shenouda III, and the General Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, which showed the support and acceptance of the Church for the MB and helped them to be in power. Same happened again with Your Holiness in a meeting with members of the Shura Council that belongs to the Islamists who passed their non-consensual constitution; the one that ignores the rights of the minorities, especially the Copts whom they decided to attack along with Al Azhar, leader of the moderate Islam in Egypt.
 
On the other hand, there are many questions about Church scouting teams that assault Your congregation as well as the journalists in various places, about Hany Aziz and about the Patriarchate deputy, as they are accused of taking advantage of their positions
 
Dear Pope, I send You this message out of my love and respect, right before the Easter, hoping that Your Holiness will save our Church of being involved with the Muslim Brotherhood in a bad way or another.
