They're not looking for the truth, they're looking for a scandal
True to his previous habits, Father Böjte drew attention to the fact that they operate transparently and openly, and that everyone who is interested in their work is warmly welcomed to Transylvania.
"I cordially invite everyone to Transylvania, I have also invited journalists over the years"
- said Csaba Böjte, recalling that a media camp was also organized.

- remarked the monk, referring to the media attacks, according to whom the hardly read organs put his name in the headlines of articles related to the scandal so that more people would click on their articles.
"I don't think that's ethical," he stated.
"I see this as a bit sneaky. If their job was to help the children, then their first path would really have been to the prosecutor's office."
- emphasized the Franciscan monk.
They would discredit the Catholic Church
The presenter also pointed out that they have been trying to discredit the entire Catholic Church for a long time with, for example, the pedophile cases, and isolated cases are highlighted in front of the public in such a way that people believe that this type of crime is a widespread, general phenomenon within the ranks of the church.

Father Böjte explained.
"Our job on this earth is not to fight and accuse each other, but to find together how to make this world better, cleaner, more beautiful," he emphasized, then pointed out that when the sun is shining and everyone praises a person , it is easy to be a good Christian, but Jesus Christ was also a good Christian on Holy Thursday and Good Friday.

"Even when they are scolding, even when they might be turning the back of a person, he still goes calmly and calmly and does his work, which God asks of him"
– he detailed the essence of the inner attitude shown in difficult times.
"I knelt down and thanked God for this storm, because so many children would never have turned to me with such love in their stinking life," the monk noted, and then listed how many words of encouragement and support he received by phone, SMS, open letters and social media platforms.
"One of them said that if there is child protection, there should also be priest protection," jokingly remarked Csaba Böjte, who emphasized that the children embraced and raised by the foundation have become tax-paying citizens, mothers and fathers with families, who can stand their ground in life. .
"I love to call them, because there are still a lot of street children, come and help with this work"
