Happy New Year, Hungarian-Style
A friend in Budapest, who is a correspondent for a major international newspaper, so I trust his sources on this, but who is also a paranoid freak about blogs, so I’ll not mention his identity, forwards this excerpt in translation from the New Year’s message from the Conference of Hungarian Catholic Bishops:
“We continue to bear the mental scars of the life of our people, and the series of tragedies and failures of the past centuries and decades are weighing down on us. Mistrust and the dramatic lack of unity within the nation is a wound which has not healed to the present day.”
But, besides all that, Happy New Year!
