“Preserving Christianity state task”
Preserving Christianity is a task enshrined in the Hungarian basic law, the state secretary for aiding persecuted Christians said at the inauguration of a new section of the Armenian Catholic Church’s house in Budapest on Wednesday.
Addressing the ceremony, Tristan Azbej said Christianity is “a power” that has been essential in preserving Hungary’s statehood over the past 1,000 years. He noted the Hungary Helps programme launched by the government to aid persecuted Christians around the world and the HUF 90 million (EUR 220,000) contribution to the new section.
Cardinal Péter Erdő, Archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest and head of the Hungarian Catholic Church, said at the ceremony that the Armenian Catholic community had long been an integral part of Hungarian society.
The cardinal was joined by Patriarch Raphael Bedros (Péter) Minassian XXI, head of the Armenian Catholic Church, in consecrating the new section.

Religion does not require the State to perpetuate and/or thrive.
The big enemy, for everyone, is religious vilification or persecution. For beliefs or affiliations or lack thereof.
