Pro-Abortion Activist Dresses as Bishop; Hands out Abortion Pills at "Communion"
Pro-Abortion activists held a demonstration on April 10 in front of the Polish Embassy in Budapest to protest the tightening of Poland's abortion law.
One of the demonstration's leaders, dressed as a Catholic bishop, conducted a mock Holy Mass, and concluded by handing out abortion pills as Holy Communion. Those receiving the pills repeated the words "Body of Christ".
For Christians, Jesus Christ is the life of the Church. To identify a deadly abortifacient as the body of Christ and to mock a sacrament of the Catholic Church was gravely offensive to the Christian community. As evidence of this, within a few days after the event more than 12 thousand people signed a CitizenGo petition demanding an official apology.
Article IX of the Hungarian Fundamental Law protects freedom of expression, but this is limited by Article IX(5): "The right to freedom of speech may not be exercised with the aim of violating the dignity of the Hungarian nation or of any national, ethnic, racial or religious community. Persons belonging to such communities shall be entitled to enforce their claims in court against the expression of an opinion which violates the community, invoking the violation of their human dignity, as provided for by an Act."
