EU Court’s LGBTQ Ruling Against Hungary Exposes the Bankruptcy of “European Values” and the Apostasy of the Conciliar Sect
EWTN portal reports that on April 23, 2026, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruled that Hungary’s 2021 LGBTQ law “breaches EU founding values,” marking the first time the top EU court found an infringement of Article 2 of the Treaty of the European Union, which enumerates the so-called “values” upon which the union is founded. The Hungarian law, passed by the outgoing government of Viktor Orbán, contained amendments strengthening penalties against pedophilia, protecting minors, as well as limitations on promoting LGBTQ and gender-related issues and themes for minors, mainly in schools. The CJEU judges argued that several amendments “constitute a coordinated series of discriminatory measures” against “the rights of non-cisgender persons — including transgender persons — or nonheterosexual persons,” and are contrary to “respect for human dignity, equality, and human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities.” The court also lamented “the offensive and stigmatizing nature of the amending law” as well as “discrimination based on sex or sexual orientation,” and “a preference for certain identities and sexual orientations to the detriment of others.” Viktor Orbán reacted by stating: “Our patriotic government protected Hungarian children from aggressive LGBTQ propaganda. Brusselian empire now strikes back,” promising he would “not give up the fight for the soul of Europe!” The International Society of Natural Law Scholars noted that the ruling exposes a “tension between national authority over education, culture, and family policy” on one hand and “supranational enforcement of rights and nondiscrimination norms” on the other. The ruling comes shortly after Hungary’s parliamentary elections, in which Orbán’s party lost to the Tisza party led by Péter Magyar, who is expected to succeed Orbán and who stated after his election: “Everyone can live with whoever they love as long as they do not violate laws and are not harmful to others.” This ruling lays bare the fundamental incompatibility between the natural law, the perennial Catholic moral doctrine, and the idolatrous “values” of the post-Christian European order — an order in which the conciliar sect itself is complicit through its own internalized revolution against the Social Reign of Christ the King.
