PM Orbán wants a Christian Europe

Change language:

“We want a Christian Europe because we believe it is the only one that has a future,” Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Friday.

Orbán said at the inauguration of the Saint Christopher pilgrim’s house in the Benedictine Abbey of Tihany that Tihany had become a meeting point between East and West a thousand years ago, adding that at the time of its foundation “friars from the East lived, worked, prayed and converted (pagans) together with Western Benedictine monks among the sacred hills”.

“Europe’s current rulers, sowing discord, inciting wars and imposing sanctions had better cast a watchful eye over Tihany,” Orbán said. He called Tihany “the sacred hill of the Hungarian nation”, and noted that its vaults contained the remains of King Andrew I, the only burial site from the Arpad dynasty left intact.

Meanwhile, the prime minister said his government had helped renew over 3,000 churches and build 200 new ones in the Carpathian Basin. “This is an achievement, appreciation and support to the religious world, but all Hungarians can also be proud of our respect for tradition,” the prime minister said.

“Christianity is culture and civilisation; we live in it: culture is everyday reality. Christian culture helps us find our way among the contradictions of life: it defines our approach to interpersonal relationships including the relationship between men and women as well as to the family, success, work, and honesty,” he said.

“We Hungarians are European and Christian, so we cannot disregard that the foundations of European life are currently under threat,” the prime minister said.

“They want us to be what we are not, and to become the kind that we do not want to become. They want us to mix with peoples who arrived from other worlds, to mix traditional gender roles, and they would even get us involved in a losing war. Instead of the order of creation, confusion and the mixing up of things show up in every direction, the signs of a new anarchy, a new Babel,” he added.

Orbán said that it was painful to see that war psychosis had infected Europe.

  1. Pedofidesz are fake Christians. They use Christianity for political purposes that have nothing to do with evangelization and everything to do with exclusion and a fascist nationalism. They are copying Putin’s textbook use of orthodox Christianity to create a false legitimacy for a fascist regime complete with a former KGB man Patriarch Kirill at the top of the church hierarchy inciting Russians to kill Ukrainians. Look up Orban’s persecution of the pastor who married him and his wife and baptised his children. Fidesz forced the closer of schools for disabled children run by Gabor Ivanyi all because Ivanyi opposed Fidesz.

      • Of course, and the Ukronazi-Azov with SS-signs and the new Bandera statues and streets in Ukroreich are just a expression of freedom or something like that 😀

  2. Medieval times are part of the past. Do orban want inquisition to come back? Such a mindset. That is why Hungarians are still crying about trianon. Hungarians will never move forward with that mind set. Take a look to Germany and japan after the end of world war. Hungarians just complain over and over again
