Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar is set to travel to the Vatican on 24 September, where he will be received by Pope Leo XIV in a private audience.
Péter Magyar is about to visit the Vatican very soon
Magyar announced the visit on Facebook, adding that he will subsequently hold talks with Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s Secretary of State and a key figure in its diplomatic and governmental affairs. The meeting will give Magyar an opportunity to discuss issues of interest with the head of the Catholic Church before his talks with one of the Vatican’s most senior officials.
The Pope had a meeting not so long ago with Viktor Orbán
Pope Leo XIV has previously received former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán at the Vatican. Orbán met the pontiff in October last year and was accompanied by his wife, Anikó Lévai, and several members of his family, writes VG.hu.
During that meeting, the two sides discussed bilateral relations and the role of the Catholic Church in Hungarian society. Family policy, the education and future of young people, and the protection of Christian communities living in war zones were also among the topics addressed. Orbán said afterwards that he had asked the Pope to continue supporting Hungary’s efforts to promote peace.

Tisza delegation previously met the Pope
The upcoming meeting will also follow an earlier Vatican encounter involving Magyar’s political movement. In April, Pope Leo XIV received representatives of the European People’s Party at the Vatican, including members of the Tisza Party. Magyar’s private audience therefore means the continuation of the relations between the Vatican and the Tisza politicians.

Your Holiness, this letter I bring to you on behalf of Cardinal Peter Erdo of Hungary, his request for retirement.
It meets with my approval Your Holiness the need for my country to “move forward” to release itself from what we have over the course of the past (20) twenty years endured, under the previous Government.
Cardinal Peter Erdo, right of right Conservative, but it is past the due by date Your Holiness that the Holy Roman Catholic Church of Hungary, of which 62% of our ageing declining population are of Baptized Roman Catholics – the time for us to-gether to make gargantuan change in promotion, the practice of the Catholic Faith in Hungary and again to GROW the Church.
Pope Francis spoke to us, you, Your Holiness still in the early stages of your Pontificate speak to us of the NEED of the Holy Roman Catholic Church – that a Poorer Church is a Holier Church, to build a Humbler Church, who “bends down” to wash the feet of Humanity.
Pope Francis said to us, Your Holiness the way forward is that we again re-discover all things logic of the Gospel.
Cardinal Peter Erdo would retire with the prayers of his “flock” that have been for decades “entrusted” to his care.
Cardinal Peter Erdo -through his friendship with the previous Prime Minister of Hungary – Victor Mihaly. Orban – wife being a baptized Catholic, that Your Holiness, it is on “public” record his respect and support of the Policies practiced on the people of Hungary under the Prime Ministership of Victor Mihaly. Orban – that the word of Humanity can be debated.
Your Holiness – we have to many growing churches in cities, in towns, in villages, in hamlets that are being deconsecrated.
Your Holiness – vocational numbers remain “depressed” – low which has been the trend under the “re-tiring” – Cardinal Peter Erdo, who in his decades of Cardinalship of Hungary has seen the Holy Roman Catholic Church of Hungary considerable decline in number, those of baptism, of participating in community and parish functionality, that are in reason(s) why we continue to witness the deconsecrated of Holy Roman Catholic Churches, in Hungary.
Holy Father, the Church – we, being the prime Minister of Hungary representing my “Brothers and Sisters” in Christ – is called to allow herself to rebuild again and again, so that “the Beauty of the Gospel” may Shine, through remaining Faithful to itself while continuing “to place herself” at the center of the World.
Your Holiness, we know through our Faith, our Trust , our Belief and our Love of Christ Jesus, that he belongs to those that are Humble, not to those, who elevate themselves above the Flock.
