It happens that an intelligent person suddenly loses his mind and starts talking nonsense. Unfortunately, its owner has no power over the human brain. This state is called: confusion of consciousness. There are people with a confused mind who want to divide reason by misinterpreting the clear facts. We call this a misconception. And there are cases where they deliberately distort reality with a sensible, not the least bit disturbed consciousness, motivated by self-interest or simple blind hatred, and this is what we call villainy.
There is this ex-priest (but it's good that he's just an ex), named Hodász. He hasn't lost his mind, he hasn't been confused, yet he proclaims such absurdities out loud that one gasps for breath when hearing his statements. Such things were said - reported by several organs - at the event called Circles of Freedom, at which there could not be much discussion, because two such emblematic figures sat (stood) next to each other, such as ex-Father Hodász and theologian Rita Perintfalvi on paper+.
Every manifestation of the two mentioned figures radiates the hatred of the Orbán government, while their "doctrines" and anti-Christian views are dressed in Christian garb. The last time Perintfalvi joined Tímea Szabó's screaming camp was when he launched a furious attack against brother Csaba Böjte, looking down on the monk who works for orphans and children with a difficult fate from some heavenly height. It is not necessary to review the entire work of the "female theologian", this single manifestation of her is enough to make one not admire her.
But what kind of theologian is he who visibly hates the church he belongs to?
Ex-Father Hodász does not hate, we have to write this in his favor. He speaks out against it, at best stating inaccuracies, which is less than commendable. At the ominous event, for example, he claimed that
"In Hungary, if you are a believer, you vote for a certain party. Which, by the way, backfires, because being a Christian in Hungary in the last 15 years means that you vote for a certain place - and the churches are empty".
Yeah. We didn't know this until now, but now we are enlightened. Because what does Father Ex claim? First of all, that the Christian is a stupid, herdable animal, who acts on the ballot on some (presumably church) order. He also claims that this is why churchgoers are declining.
Until now, I thought that András Hodász was an intelligent person, even though I don't want to like his world view. After that, however, I doubt it. Our dear ex-priest friend, what do you think about this? On the one hand, the Christian man is a brainless executor, and on the other hand, does he turn away from the church that allegedly ordered (or at least encouraged) him to vote? On the one hand, do you follow the order blindly, and on the other hand, do you not want to do it?
Mr. Hodász is not aware of several things
First of all, with the fact that - in my opinion, unfortunately, others say, thank God - there is no talk of parties in churches.
However, it would not be a sin against God either, since the church (any) is also a civil organization, and a civil organization has the right, even the duty, to "run" those who agree with the ideology of the civil organization. Or would it be right if the priest encouraged the believers from the pulpit to vote for atheists? It would be a nice sparrow, I can tell!
Second: Father Ex must assume (otherwise his statement makes no sense) that if you are a believer but do not vote for the indicated party, you will be retaliated against.
But what kind? Maybe they'll get four? Throwing them at the stake? After all, in theory you don't even know who is voting for whom, because this, dear Mr. Hodász, is secret! It can only be revealed if the person concerned reveals it. I note that I know some regular churchgoers who, admittedly, vote for the other side because that Feri child is so cute...
Third: don't you think that people of faith don't need instructions, they can decide for themselves which party acts in their interest and which one against them? Or which one supports the churches and which one wants to deal with them?
Finally, I am forced to doubt the knowledge of Hodász, who is now working as a barista.
If you were a little more interested in the affairs of the world, you would see that the number of people going to church (synagogue, house of worship, etc.) is unfortunately decreasing dramatically worldwide, thanks for example to those non-existent background powers (and their existing earthly proxies, such as Hodász's favorite Péter Márki-Zay, or Ferenc Gyurcsány, the convert who frequently confesses), who wage an increasingly open war against the church and try to make people believe that faith is a medieval, backward thing.
It has a certain discreet charm when two preachers who have turned against the church preach the word.
The leftists, the so-called liberal anti-democrats, are of course happy to host those who say nasty things about faith or churches, and of course about FIDESZ and KDNP. It is like manna from heaven to them.
The only problem (for them) is that sooner or later false prophets will be revealed - that they are false prophets.
