Child abuse: Hungarian Reformed Church ‘expresses sympathy’ with victims
The presidential council of the Hungarian Reformed Church has expressed its sympathy with the victims of child abuse and said that it considered any ill-treatment unacceptable.
Child abuse case “burdens the members”
Referring to former President Katalin Novák’s pardon granted to a person implicated in a case of child abuse, which led to her recent resignation, the council said in a circular issued on Wednesday that the case “burdens Reformed Church members in their preparations for Lent”.
Concerning Bishop Zoltán Balog, former head of the Reformed Church Synod, who also resigned after the pardon came to light, the council said “he and his diocese have the exclusive right to make a decision concerning his post as bishop.”

Not an apology but thoughts and prayers! Lovely.
Hypocrites who have sold their souls to Fidesz. Fake Christians.
The Fidesz ambassador to Peru Gábor Kaleta put 19,000 child pornographic images online and only got a 500,000 forint fine from the Pedofidesz máfia goverment. He got a suspended sentence from the Pedofidesz controlled judicial system. He was supposed to get a year in jail and Orban intervened in 2020. Koleta was secretly brought home from Peru and the Orban government put out the lie that the secrecy was requested by the US.
