I'm traveling on the bus, on my way to one of the Masses of the Eucharistic Congress, when a quote from Pope Francis comes over the loudspeaker, as if to greet him: "If a person is gay, seeks God, and has good intentions, who am I to condemn?"
Francesca Rivafinoli begins her article on the sándar.hu portal, then continues:
I was a bit expecting that at the next stop there would be a biblical quote, let's say "There is no God!" - in the end, however, the Metropolitan Municipality did not inform us about this, even though it is also written in the Holy Scriptures, in black and white, Book of Psalms 14.1. It is true that the sentence sounds somewhat more nuanced when quoted a little longer: "The fool says in his heart: There is no God!". The situation is similar with the 2013 quote from Pope Francis; in its continuation, the Holy Father continues his thoughts as follows: "the problem is not that someone has such an attitude; no, we have to be brothers, that's the priority. The real problem is when they build a lobby for this attitude. (…) This is the most serious problem for me." However, according to the signs, the Gergely Karácsony did not want to burden the people of Pest with this part anymore - the campaign message would slip by the wayside at the end. What's more, if it turns out: in 2018, Pope Francis also said that "it seems that homosexuality is almost fashionable in our societies". The overall picture is a little different, isn't it?
But the good thing is that we also have the other preacher here, Ágnes Vadai.
He who found the uplifting week of the Eucharistic Congress to be the most suitable opportunity to hold a press conference again and submit a parliamentary proposal on "the government commission of inquiry established for the comprehensive investigation of sexual abuse of minors within the Catholic Church" should be set up immediately . It is also very interesting that the motion is specifically and exclusively aimed at abuses within the Catholic Church, so it would not affect, for example, Lutherans or Buddhists, let alone sports associations. What is this special attention for?
And then they don't understand why the Catholic, who was oppressed under communism and accused of trumped-up charges, rushes to sign the "Stop Gyurcsány! Stop Christmas!" petition.
