Házastársi hűség (Faithfulness in Marriage)

I am following the happenings in the world and the institution of marriage is disappearing all over Europe. In Hungary, a new marriage law is being adopted that ignores the very concept of faithfulness in marriage. In other words, the legal system, the State, the Judiciary will not "know" the concept and there is no legal or other resource in case of unfaithfulness. The gender problem has been solved by ignoring it: in the future, gender is a personal (and transitory) issue. In the past, brothers and sisters and close relatives could not legally marry in Hungary; in the new law, the issue is ignored (may be they decided to have no shared children) and even genetic councelling is not mentioned. Spain has similar legislation, as they all are following common European guidelines.

The EU started life as the Coal and Steel Commission, which in turn was nurtured by three staunch Catholics Schumann, Adenauer and deGaspari. It is a bitter irony that the EU is now the main engine for repression and de-Christianisation in Europe. One day this Tower of Babel will come to a much deserved end.

The Vatican wants to build Holy Roman Empire II.

The Vatican wants to build Holy Roman ...

Which is funny because the old Pope, John Paul II was rebuffed when he begged the EU to include some mention of its Christian heritage. The message that the EU is an anti-Christian outfit has filterd through, the Vatican was on the 'NO' side of the Irish referendum.

It is a paradox that the EU has adopted Communist ideas on morality.
