By Robert Royal, The Catholic Thing - We may learn more about the exchanges between Pope Francis and Prime Minister Orban... But it’s clear that Orban, as a head of state, has drawn a distinction that the pope, in his idealism and universalism, has not. Christ’s Cross “extends its arms to everyone.” No nation on earth, however, can do that. What Orban has been attempting in Hungary, for all its debatable aspects, is not mere “defensiveness.” It’s a recognition that problems that are “not supposed to happen,” according to liberal democratic nostrums, do happen.
