“Marriage was not instituted by man, but by God…. When Christianity is rejected, marriage inevitably sinks into the slavery of man’s vile passions.”
Pope Leo XIII, "Arcanum divinæ sapientiæ," February 10, 1880

“First, just to clarify the position of Hungary on migration: It’s true that the number of migrants in Hungary: zero. And the reason is very simple. We have a system, which is a fair system. We say that the border is a border, and to cross the border illegally, it’s an illegal action. We can’t accept that, somebody illegally crossing the borderline. You know, it’s a crime. It’s not a ‘human rights’ something. It’s a crime. So therefore we treat everybody who is doing that as a criminal.” 
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s comments from April’s National Conservatism Conference in Brussels have resurfaced on social media since the European Court of Justice fined his country on June 13 for failing to uphold its rules for so-called asylum seekers. The fine is €200 million for persistent violations and an additional €1 million penalty for every subsequent day Hungary fails to comply.

“Reservoirs are full. The mountains are covered in snow. The river’s been flowing well. So why now? Why after we’ve planted our crops? We have crops in the ground that are already growing. Now, in the middle of June, they pull a curtailment order to say, you must cease pumping water. The cost is huge. An acre of potatoes costs upward of $4,000 an acre to grow. How will that ever be recovered? They will not grow without water. And what will that do to everyone else that’s reliant upon us in this area and the state of Idaho?”
Fifth-generation Idaho farmer Trevor Belknap posted this message on social media after his state’s Department of Water Resources issued an order in late May curtailing water use on 500,000 acres of farmland. Many of his neighbors say the unjust decree will drive them out of business.
