Bucharest archbishop warns of ‘attacks against Christianity’ on Hungary’s national holiday
Aurel Perca, the archbishop of Bucharest, noted the "attacks against Europe's Christian values" in his sermon at a ceremonial mass in Budapest's Saint Stephen's Basilica, on the day of the basilica's name-giver and Hungary's national holiday on Tuesday.
The archbishop said “Christian culture, which has facilitated welfare and development both for individuals and society, seems to teeter.”
“We are witnessing great battles waged against the Church and God, as if they wanted to wipe out the traces of a Christian Europe,” he said. “As long as some seek to see a Europe without God and Christian values Europe is in jeopardy,” he added.
