HUNGARY has a State Secretary for the Aid of Persecuted Christians—Tristan Azbej, above—and he has gone on the offensive to warn that aid to to poor and developing countries is being predicated on, among other things, foisting condoms on those in need of help.

Furthermore, recipient countries are being encouraged by “liberal” and “woke” aid giivers to be nicer to LGBT+ communities, something Hungary has fiercely resisted by enacting anti-LGBT+ legislation.

In 2021, the Hungarian parliament voted by an overwhelming majority to pass legislation that, in essence, and under the pretext of protecting minors, bans images or content that depicts or “promotes” homosexuality or trans-identity from the public space.

In an interview with Catholic outlet Crux, Azbej described aid packages that call for things likebirth control and liberal laws as “moral insanity.”

He added:

This is the liberal, political, ideological colonisation that we see. It is utterly disrespectful, and the Holy Father said it very rightly, this is a colonisation of those countries … that is not only threatening, but utterly immoral, inhumane.

He was speaking after he had a recent confab with Pope Francis.

Azbej referred to Pope’s call for Europe to return to its Christian roots and the dxemands of European bishops for political leaders to strengthen Europe’s “founding Christian values” ahead of EU parliamentary elections in June.

Why does Hungary even have a State Secretary for the Aid of Persecuted Christians?

Azbej explained that his role came about because “Christianity is the most persecuted religious group in the world” and also because “we are a Christian Democratic Government.”

He said:

Hungary, at least culturally, is a Christian country, and we as a Christian Democratic government, have a mission to implement the social teachings of the Bible and the Church into our policy, including protecting marriage, including protecting the concept and only true definition of family.

In our constitution, we protect the definition of family and of marriage, and we proclaim in the constitution that marriage is between one man and one woman, and that a father is a man, and a mother is a woman. Where has our world reached, when such a thing needs to be set in constitutions?

His aim, he intimated, was forge links with other countries that are don’t, for religious reasons, want condoms in their add packages or such horrors as gay marriage.

All of this reminds me of this:
