About a dozen renowned historians of religion and philosophy, classical philologists, supported György Karsai, director of the Doctoral School of the University of Theater and Film Arts, who was accused of impatience by the president of the board of directors of the university, Attila Vidnyánszky.

Attila Vidnyánszky is wrong to accuse György Karsai of impatience or anti-Christianity, nearly a dozen Christian intellectuals wrote in an open letter Tuesday.

A 444.hu The letter was drafted by renowned literary, philosophical, ideological and religious historians, classical philologists after the chairman of the board of directors of the Foundation for Property of the University of Theater and Motion Picture Arts last week. Direct talk In his program, he told György Karsai, director of the SZFE Doctoral School, that “I will never be able to explain what a nation, a country and Christianity are, because he is incapable of accepting what I think.” The university’s doctoral council also spoke earlier about the case.

The words of Attila Vidnyánszky, who identified themselves as friends, old and new colleagues and admirers of György Karsai, do not consider the words of Attila Vidnyánszky to be anti-Semitic, they only meant that György Karsai does not share his views on the nation, his country and the Christianity. there is, as is well known, that the debate between the two started many years ago ”, but according to the writers of the letter, Vidnyászky has no reason to accuse Karsai of being impatient or anti-Christian.

According to the writers, the “professional work of György Karsai, characterized as a classical philologist, literary historian, playwright or university professor, is characterized by a sincere and profound patriotism” which “has always preferred publications in Hungarian”.

They say that his attachment to his homeland is also evidenced by the fact that he returned home after teaching at various universities in France and could have obtained a permanent job at the University of Lille, and they do not recall a single case of “negative bias. towards Christianity “.

The authors of the letter mention that among the practitioners of the Hungarian humanities “there are Christians, Jews, agnostics and atheists, but no one is to blame for the other, since individual belief is not a scientific problem.”

Christian intellectuals quote Christ on Vidnyánszky’s accusations:

“Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven” (Mt 7:21). Heavenly Father’s will is done by someone who keeps the commandments. And the two biggest: “You will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.” and “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Mt 22: 37-39). They all examine themselves to see if they are keeping these commandments and then take it upon themselves to judge or talk to their fellow man. But even then, think about the words of Christ: “Judge not, lest you be judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you ”(Mt 7: 1-2).
