Christianity is important in Hungary and Central Europe, and it should be so in all of Europe, this is evidence for us - stated Celldömölkön, the State Secretary of the Prime Minister's Office responsible for church and ethnic relations.
Miklós Soltész spoke at the ceremony on the occasion of the renovation of the former Benedictine monastery with half a billion HUF government support, saying that when the Benedictines settled there more than 250 years ago, there was only one "ideology", which had already existed for 1,700 years.
He put it this way: "Every day, week, month and year of our lives is still woven through the Christian teachings, messages, and the memories built by Christianity, which have marked our entire statehood and Christianity for a thousand years."
It is not possible to "kill the Christian ten commandments, the message and the uniqueness of the created world" - that a boy is born a boy, a girl a girl, and they remain the same - but we respect those who think differently, said the state secretary. He continued: there are huge forces at work trying to change this, but it remains to be seen what the consequences are if great powers want to impose their worldview and world politics on other continents and countries. He added: we can see what is happening in Afghanistan now and what consequences it will have.
Many, many people and communities or even parties arguing with each other, if they could recognize it, perhaps they could agree that even in the preservation of Hungarianness, the preservation of the nation as a whole or Europe, "how big is our responsibility, which must be shared and for which we must unite"
Miklós Soltész explained the antecedents of the renovation of the former monastery in Celldömölk and indicated that the former city leaders and the late Chancellor Péter Kiss should also be thanked for their initiative. He also touched on how important it is that the renovated monastery serves community purposes, because the pandemic has shown how sad the lack of community is. This is why the government supports the renovation of pilgrim houses throughout the Carpathian Basin.
