The "feminist theologian" Rita of Perintfalvi clearly takes pleasure in commenting on right-wing public figures in a sarcastic style, and pushing the boundaries of normality while wearing Christian garb. He likes to act, doesn't he?
The latest stop in his verbal rampage is the post in which he addressed László Kövér and Zsolt Bayer and asked them the million-dollar question, what do the two mentioned have to do with the homosexuality of a Norwegian goblin? The background of the story, as we wrote , is that the Norwegian post office - i.e. the state - made a charming little advertisement in which Santa Claus and Harry, the latter a random guy, fall in love and seal their warm feelings with a kiss.
In connection with this advertisement László Kövér said on the Bayer show that he was waiting for the protest of the Catholic Church and all good-natured Christians for defaming the memory of St. Nicholas, and
they spit on all the tradition that arose from it for thousands of years.
He thinks that this is not a simple, cheap joke that a so-called state-owned company and the media allow themselves, but
this is the most despicable vilification of Christians, which of course has become commonplace in recent years, but if we behave as if it were part of everyday life, then of course it will happen sooner or later.
In a word, the Speaker of the House expressed his opinion on a Sunday night TV show, with which many people deeply agree, while others do not, and Perintfalvi is obviously one of the others.
But if we go back a little further in time and take a close look at the activities of the "feminist theologian" (whatever that means), we can make three statements for sure: she is deeply offended, hates Fidesz, and takes the LGBT lobby's activities to heart. These three characteristics frame all his statements, his positions against the church and conservative Christians, and more precisely his outbursts, which can hardly be called moderate. And also when he preaches about love and acceptance.
With his current post, however, he crossed the certain red line that every sane parent paints in front of their child(ren), so Kövér and Bayer have just as much to do with the matter as any other parent or grandparent.
Perintfalvi explains that
"the Santa in the advertisement, which the Norwegians call Julenissen, has nothing in the world to do with Saint Nicholas! Julenissen does not arrive on December 5th, even though it is the eve of the feast of St. Nicholas, when Santa Claus arrives in Hungary and hides presents in the little boots of good children. Julenissen, on the other hand, is known for the fact that he and his companions bring Christmas Eve, i.e. he arrives on December 24 with the gifts he has brought for the children. He is much more like a kind of troll or goblin than the former benevolent bishop of the city of Myra... We can also see from this that in the case of Julenissen it is also a kind of secularized Santa Claus celebration, which is completely separated from the figure of Saint Nicholas and Christianity. It is part of a secular holiday. Just like his companions Santa Claus, Nikolaus, Télapó, Gyed Moroz i.e. "Fagy Apó". They are all different faces of a globalized Santa Claus, who were created much more as a market product than as a remembrance of the saint... Well, how could it be a blasphemy of Christianity if an advertisement about the sexual orientation of a completely fictional character claims that he is homosexual? The advertisement does not claim to be gay about St. Nicholas, i.e. not a real historical person, but about a fictional Christmas leprechaun."
In the quoted passage, the theologian smears, relativizes, slips and sidesteps just as she does in the continuation of the long post, only to finally get to where she is used to: hatred committed in the name of love. Meanwhile, he contradicts himself in such a way that he doesn't even notice. He claims that the Norwegian Santa Claus is a fictional Christmas elf, but he also claims that he is a kind of secularized figure who has now broken away from the figure of Saint Nicholas and Christianity. So is he a fictional goblin (who unfortunately looks like the popular figure of Myra's bishop, and even brings the Norwegian Christmas), or does his story originate from Christianity, like the now undoubtedly secularized figure of the patron saint of children and students?
And while we're at it, what does the theologian think about Christmas, which is brought by a Santa-like, homosexual goblin? Does it still have anything to do with Christianity, the birth of Christ, or has it also evolved into a secularized, invented holiday with sheep and stables?
However, everything that Perintfalvi described is nothing compared to what he did not describe, and what is painfully missing from his post demanding love is the definition of the target audience of the advertisement. Who is the Norwegian state targeting by showing the homosexual Julenissen and Harry's kiss? Heterosexual married couples, men and women, i.e. adults, or their children of preschool and elementary school age? Well, that's the point!
The Norwegian post office, using Christmas, and thus seriously offending Christians, serves the LGBT lobby targeting small children as much as possible. And this is the finer version. If we put it more harshly, we can also say that in Norway the pedophiles of the consciousness industry can now operate with state support. And if a woman who defines herself as a Christian theologian cannot interpret all of this, then the fault is not to be found in Christianity, but in the interpretive framework.
