I wonder who got mixed up, Cardinal Péter Erdő, who took part in the conservative, right-wing meeting in Kötcs, or Miklós Beer, the retired county bishop of Vác, the icon of the Ballibs?
Péter Erdő received a lot of criticism for his participation, even though he was among the adherents of a conservative ideology, i.e. an ideology containing eternal moral standards, his fault is that this is now the ruling party. It is the government's fault that it is renovating churches, it is the church's that it is grateful for it.
Fidesz-KDNP even undertakes international retorts because of its ideology, it is in sync with church values. What is this ideology? "Nowadays, it is customary to talk about a "conservative" value system, which means traditional (thousand-year-old? eternal?) moral laws with the hidden suggestion that there is another value system. However, this is a falsification, there are no two basic values, it is only possible to more or less ignore the needs of the known ancient "inherent" laws. The "new values" thus define themselves in a negative sense in relation to the original, such as liberation, liberalization from the mainly moral and aesthetic obligations", wrote Gyula Botond in 2007, in the book of Media magic.
Miklós Beer, however, drifted not among those who openly embrace eternal values, but among those on the left, and left-wing newspapers, such as Népszava, ask him for an interview. From this, his ideology and commitment to liberalism and leftism emerge.
In his speech, he constantly reinforces the panels that the left has been blowing for years. The expectations and suggestions of the left about the shrinking Christian Church seem to be justified, because, as Miklós Beer says, they do not consider the Catholic Church to be authentic.
Yes, the left is always working to make the biggest possible impact on any abuse, which can be used to hit the Catholic Church hard. Although it occurs in greater numbers in all areas where children are dealt with, in schools and sports, the media emphasizes the church.
The former county bishop also confirmed the panel, but at the same time a lie, that Fidesz propaganda is constantly being broadcast here on all channels, on TV, on Kossuth radio, and that is the only thing that reaches the people, and that is what they are slandering. This also appears in foreign newspapers, that Fidesz has settled on the media and does not give space to opposition voices. Although the truth is different, this is what they say, and they attribute the 2/3 victory to this. There is no one to explain to them that for 40 years it was only left-wing, communist party propaganda, which did not stop with the regime change, because the media remained in left-wing hands. The right-wing government has only been able to equalize the voices of the right and the left with hard work, but the left may still be louder in the electronic media. Everyone has ample access to information from all sides. But it takes masochism for someone who is committed to conservative values and the government that accepts them to read left-wing distortions and slanderous content. Everything here, but everything is very bad, this is echoed and harassed by the good people.
According to Miklós Beer, there is a division within the church as well, who is Fidesz and who is not. "You can't side with any political trend from a religious point of view," he says.
Our question would be that even if the government defends matters with a Christian, moral aspect, even against the entire liberal world? What's more, are sanctions, retorts, and hostile, distorting media facing him because he protects the interests of children, against violent gender propaganda, if he defends the sanctity of marriage? Even then, it is not possible to support such a government on the part of the church?
We assume that this is a wrong judgement, it is better for Péter Erdő to participate in such an intellectual environment than for Miklós Beer to corner the progressive liberals and put the words in their mouths that they want to hear.
According to the Népszava reporter, the government "elevated homophobia to the state level" and the church is complicit. Twice he repeated "homophobia elevated to the state level" and Miklós Beer did not protest. In fact, as it turned out from his speech, he agreed with this. He referred to Pope Francis, who shows us the way to break down the walls of exclusion. Who am I to judge? Yes, the judgment belongs to God, but the priest gives absolution because of the confessed sin.
According to the Scriptures, homosexuality is a sin, and we love the person, but reject the sin.
Pope Francis doesn't say anything else, no matter how much the liberals want to hear approval of the lifestyle.
Complicit silence, although certainly agreeing with the morally correct law. The church's sin is not only that it accepts renovated churches, but also that it accepts perceived extortion, because the money does not always go to the poor.
However, this is also a request for perspective, because the left is silent about how many jobs were created, how public work proved to be a good solution for a long time, how many family support and Roma catch-up programs were established for young people with low incomes, and even the Hungary Helps program is successfully operating. Those living in the left-wing bubble only hear all this in a twisted way, how bad everything is.
"You have to approach them with understanding," says BM against the government's legislation, which is considered exclusionary. And where is the exclusion here? This is just the left's narrative, which is a lie.
People of the same sex have the same rights, they can live in cohabitation, no one hurts them, unlike in other mostly Muslim countries, where death awaits homosexuals. It is precisely the sanctity of marriage that the government and the children are protecting from this educational environment and from the violently pushing homosexual propaganda.
From a Catholic priest, the government deserves praise for this, as it honored their deliberations with the presence of Péter Erdő. This is what we would expect from Miklós Beer, but he responded to the reporter's question on this topic quite strangely.
The reporter asked the question, what does he say about gay marriage. The former county bishop replied that "I could accept it, like abortion, as a civil law." And as a church? "At the church level, no," was the answer. What is a double standard? This is the comparison itself.
The experience is that if someone pulls to the left, it has moral consequences, there are also problems with faith. Hodász also pulled to the left, and what happened?
It's easy to decide who got mixed up here.
