As Ronald Reagan put it: “Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation from extinction.” This requires no explanation for us Hungarians—we have learnt this from repeated experience.

As Croatia’s lawmakers enter the final stretch toward euro membership, it is essential that they understand exactly what happened in Greece, and why. In five short years, 2009-2014, the Greek economy imploded: one quarter of it vanished. This was a direct result of the austerity packages that the EU and the ECB forced upon the government in Athens. What will Croatia do to avoid ending up in the same trap as Greece?

Consistories usually take place in February, June, and November. This time, the pope stepped a little ahead of schedule, as if he wanted to anticipate and name—as soon as possible—those who will compete for the election of his successor.

New studies exposing the dangers of the COVID-19 vaccines are published on a weekly basis. But, along with the mounting number of vaccine-related side effects, they are routinely met with silence by the media and politicians.

A debt crisis sweeping across both continents has the potential of bringing about a new global depression. Governments have no room to use fiscal policy to mitigate the crisis; their monetary policy capabilities have already been depleted in responding to the recent pandemic. Yet there was no mention of this threat in Davos.

Capitalism does not destroy other values, nor does it come without respectable merits. Quite the contrary: the profit motive has elevated human existence to unprecedented levels. We can feed more mouths, cure more of the sick, educate, and elevate more people than we have ever been able to do. The problem lies instead in the fallibility of human nature.

A choice of diversity and openness—to use concepts that should be in vogue—has worked to reverse the aging trend in apostolic vocations in Bishop Rey’s diocese. But the decision from Rome proves that the Pope, and he alone, determines what passes for diversity and openness.

The common good is superior to the sum of individual goods; the nation is above the lobby; and truth, good, and beauty are those eternal values that, together with human dignity, represent the triumph of faith and reason.

A new debt crisis looks unavoidable. There is practically no interest in fiscal reforms across Europe, leaving the continent vulnerable to a destructive downward spiral of rising interest rates and structural budget deficits.

Schools are a key battleground in identity politics. It is refreshing to see some common sense from the Attorney General.

It is not only the Anne Spiegels of this world who pay the bill. All families are affected, and even women who do not consider themselves feminists can no longer escape the social demands of this profoundly anti-family feminism.

Families are a wall; a bulwark against dictatorship, a bastion of liberty. The family is at odds with the ideology of the postmodernists. This is why they hate it so much and are attempting to destroy it.
