Hungarian Catholic Bishops’ Conference supports
Polish criticism of ‘LGBTQ ideology’
Daily News Hungary
András Veres, head of the Hungarian Catholic
Bishops’ Conference (MKPK), has expressed his solidarity and support for the
Polish Catholic Bishops’ Conference after Archbishop of Krakow Marek Jedraszewski
came under fire for a speech criticising “LGBTQ ideologies”.
“History has taught us that standing up for the
teachings of Christian faith often causes anger in others,” Veres wrote in a
letter posted on the MKPK website and addressed to Stanislaw Gadecki, the head
of the Polish Catholic Bishops’ Conference.
“Still, we are dumbfounded by the undeserved
attacks you suffered, since all you did was explicate the teachings of the
Catholic church in connection with a current phenomenon,” he said.
Veres said it was shocking that the same people
who “demanded that their opinion should be accepted” denied others “even the
right to express a differing opinion”.
“Considering that the attacks you suffered were
peculiar, we would also like to express in a peculiar way … our solidarity with
you and our brotherly support,” he added. Jedraszewski came under fire from the
Polish left wing and liberals, including the liberal Catholic weekly Tygodnik
Powszechny, after talking about a “rainbow-coloured epidemic” in a sermon
commemorating the 75th anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw uprising on
August 1.
