A few days ago, the leader of the opposition made a statement and said that he has many children and is a deeply Catholic believer. He criticized the current domestic conditions and compared our country to the Gulag Islands described by Solzhenitsyn, to the horrible communist dictatorship. He lived the European democracy, the rule of law, where those pastors who dare to say that God created man as a woman and a man are punished. Afterwards, I think, he went home and watched the news contentedly, having free tea with his family in the evening. There is no such freedom as here in any Western European country, where even three dignitaries under public law can be treated with lies at the same time by entering any TV.
I would quote from the wise answers of the respected Dalai Lama, a Buddhist leader and teacher. Which is the best religion? "The best religion is the one that brings us closest to God. The best religion is the one that makes us better people.” "What is really important is how someone behaves in front of their peers and family, how they behave at work, in the community and in front of the world." "Watch your thoughts, for they will become words! Watch your words because they will become actions! Watch your actions because they will become habits! Take care of your habits, because they will become your character! Take care of your character, because it will shape your destiny, and your destiny will be your life!” says the teaching.
And finally:
There is no religion that is above the truth.
Great, universal ideas, life here on earth would be better if we accepted them. Unfortunately, Satan, who does not spare the church or the believers in it, often does not allow these ideas, which are also promoted by other religions, to dominate the earth. Religions must be respected because they mostly help us get closer to God, in search of the truth. Freedom of religion is an important achievement.
Christianity differs from all other religions not only in that in it man does not seek God, but God seeks us, he comes among us with the incarnation, so Christians do not believe in the "unknown" God that they must seek, but in the real God, who gave his life for us with the sacrifice of the cross on Good Friday. It follows from this that Christianity primarily does not preach teachings and doctrines, but a concrete person who lived throughout history, Jesus of Nazareth, who was born of Mary, lived here among us, was crucified and resurrected on the third day. So, at Christmas, the most important thing is not the bagel, but Jesus Christ personally, from whom follows the inexcusable, beginningless love (including the love of the enemy), which we can then preach as teaching, but first we must preach the person, Jesus himself, from whom the teaching came and continues , as it lives within us, whether we recognize it or not.
Even from Cardinal Ratzinger, the later XVI. Pope Benedict said that it is good that the church is sinful, because then I can be a member of it. Many of us can identify ourselves as believers in this idea. Yes, in the earthly church, of which we are members, there are sins and scandals, this is the cause of suffering and crises since the first Pentecost. On the other hand, the members of the heavenly church, where even those suffering in purgatory will go, already live in true happiness and without sin.
How can one express how genuine a person's Christianity is? Shouldn't anyone who dares to write about such a thing pass the test of the strict Jesus phrase "judge not, lest you be judged"? However, there is another sentence in the teaching: "the sinner must be loved, the sin can be condemned". So we have the right to investigate and condemn actions, spoken words, dishonest insults and lies. Our Christian legal system, our constitution, is based on this.
Ever since there are more and more politicians in public life who claim to be Christians, but in reality have no relationship of gratitude to the Gospel teachings, they can very easily lead us astray if we do not focus on the person of Jesus Christ who lives within us, who always shows us the complete truth.
Why is all this important before the elections? Because one should not succumb to individual grievances when it comes to the fate of our nation. This is how we people are, we soon become ungrateful, we forget the great and good things that have happened, the enormous progress that has taken place in economic and moral terms since the state of the nation in 2010. But the Gospel warns us to know a tree by its fruits. This is a sentence that can be interpreted more specifically: whoever protects the basic values, i.e. the family, marriage and nation-states, the point is already in order. And this is where the leader of the EU and the opposition is failing, because he does not sufficiently protect these basic values. All over Europe, the political gatherings that serve the all-pervading gender ideology have failed the test of normality! They will catch you at home too.
A nation that compares itself to itself will perish. We see this in the European Union: not with war, but with the support of illegal immigration, and with the threat of pastors that they cannot proclaim that God created man as a woman and a man.
With the militant Islamization of Europe, great nations such as Germany, England, Spain, our French brothers, and I could go on, are being consumed. Hungarian-Polish friendship has so far been able to resist the pseudo-Christianity prevailing in the EU.
How can we further narrow the circle? Who should we believe when we are looking for the way, the truth, the direction of life in our decisions and the embodiment of this, Jesus and his true followers? It is very important that there is no sinless person, and it is only up to the right media to magnify crimes, which can be used to equate any two political actors, diverting the importance of paying attention to real values. Highlighting a politician's sentence, in which a well-intentioned but unfulfilled promise was made (for example, before the Covid crisis), while turning a blind eye to the other's constantly hateful, nation-losing behavior.
You filter out the mosquito and swallow the camel
- Jesus warns us about the pharisee's behavior so that we can make the right decision. I have seen many of my friends who used to be right-wingers turn away or become neutral because of personal grievances that should be overcome when it comes to the fate of our nation. Quite a few conservative figures have gone straight to the left. They have in common that they owe their profitable existence, their university titles, and their general respectability to this government.
At this point, we have to ask the question: can the Catholicism of the leader of the left be taken seriously, with which he certainly misleads many believers?
The most essential characteristic of the false politician's seduction is that he often even refers to a distant God sitting above the heavens, thus generating credulity so that we can be deceived, referring to our individual grievances. False prophets are always wary of confessing their sins and how they could repent and be healed if they could. Because they are afraid that they won't get votes that way. Also getting to know them for spewing hateful phrases at their opponents. Almost every day there is one from the leader of the left.
This behavior precludes considering him a true Christian in the first place; a true believer never humiliates his peaceful fellowmen and does not join the leaders of the church-hating extreme left; a true believer does not seek the friendship of atheistic liberals who speak ignominiously of the sacred objects of Christianity.
The greatest test of Christianity is precisely the love of the enemy, which does not mean stupidity, but the actions, and the spoken words must be qualified, but the person is unnecessary, this is God's business.
We can be confident in the future, we just have to put personal grievances aside, vote with the future in mind and encourage our deluded compatriots to do so in everyday conversations, from which we must not run away, accepting mockery and contempt.
With Christ we will win!
