Cardinal Erdő expresses solidarity with arrested Nicaraguan bishop
Cardinal Péter Erdő, the head of the Hungarian Catholic Church, has expressed his solidarity with the Catholic Church of Nicaragua and Rolando Alvarez, its bishop who has recently been arrested.
In a statement sent to MTI on Tuesday, Erdő said he had learned “with a deep shock” about the “serious attack and persecution” against the church in Nicaragua.
Hungarian Catholics will “pray for all of you and for peace in your country”, Erdő said.
Alvarez, a critic of the Nicaraguan government, has been arrested for “organising violent groups and inciting hatred against residents”.

Cardinal Peter Erdo – “silent” as always, on affairs – that may go over the line – church & politics in Hungary – the “passive” or ” toe the line” role he has ALWAYS played – as the Cardinal of Hungary – Archbishop of Eszttergom-Budapest & Primate of Hungary – what do you Think – of the Dismissal – by the present Government of Hungary – the leaders of meteoroligical service ???
They are on my PRAYER list.
Cardinal Jozsef Mindszenty – 1945-1973 of Hungary.
What a “fighter” for his people and the Roman Catholic Church of Hungary – he was.
Mindszenty – “carried” the burden of the Heavy Cross on his back – for his “loved” children of Hungary.
Mindszenty – as with an “idol” and respected Pontif of yours Cardinal Peter Erdo – Saint Pope John Paul 11 – neither took back-ward steps, hid in their palaces – avoiding issues – that had been inflicted Wrongfully against “the children of God” – those of their Ministry and Vocational Responsibility.
Pope Pius X11 – in 1949 – “weeped” for Cardinal Mindszenty – for “the cross” – he was carrying for his “children” of Hungary and Hungary.
History – we know the under-takings – an risks – that Saint Pope John Paul 11 – by Leadership – his Faith, Belief and Trust – in his Faith, what he – the HEAVY Cross he carried for all the Global “children of Christ”.
“Be not Afraid ” – words OFTEN used by Saint Pope John Paul 11 – you now that Cardinal Peter Erdo.
Be seen and speak – lead us, carry the cross representing us – in the name of Christ Jesus.
Cardinal Peter Erdo – born 1952 – remember exclude study years in Rome – being out of Russian controlled and Governed Hungary – you REMEMBER – through to 1989 – what LIFE was like – living under a Communist – Dictatorial Government.
Don’t you – does your CONSCIENCE not tell you – are you not getting BRIEFED – Informed – lisening to media – reading media electronic & other, watching on Television – what is Factually occuring in Hungary – which has likened parallels/similarities – to the years 1946-1989 ?
Is YOUR silence RIGHT ?
Cardinal Peter Erdo – we are but are YOU prepared for what is occuring and WORSENING situation – in the lives of millions of the “children of god” – in Hungary ???
Comment please – remembering that 43% of the 9.6 million population of Hungary are Baptized into the Holy Roman Catholic Church in Hungary – and a statement / comment – Cardinal Erdo is NEEDED.
The Holy Roman Catholic Church of Hungary – are the LARGEST land owners in Hungary.
Leadership – Cardinal Erdo – “carry” that cross – like Cardinal Jozsef Mindszenty and Saint Pope John Paul 11.
