Will Christianity keep us?
He talks about the relations between Christianity and politics. He talks about three stations:
1. When people still had a "living" belief. People weren't simply religious, or church-goers, but their beliefs permeated through their lives. It was kind of an innate state. He calls this Faithful Christianity. Secularism however destroyed this and we slipped down on the slope to the next one:
2. The living belief shrinks but the culture which grew out of it still remains as a coordinate system, that helps to differentiate between good and bad, what we should think of man and woman, children, family, responsibility, punishment and forgiveness etc. For all these questions we give answers according to the Christian culture. He calls this Cultural Christianity. Central Europe is still here.
3. Zero Christianity. Even as guide Christianity is ceased to exist. Here people give up the culture, and there is a point: when they accept same sex marriage. Westerners are here, and mass migration caught them in this state.
I understand what he talks about and tried to not sure it will make any sense for the reader.
Is there a lower state? Can we hold on to ours and stay? Can we climb back to the living faith? He says he does not know the answer, this will depend on our children. Have we taught them that our duty as Hungarians? Keep what we have, get what we don't have but we need, reject what we don't even need. We'll see what kind of parents we were.
