Waking from the Eurasian Dream
"Although the EU and several of its most powerful member states condemned Russia’s annexation of Crimea, dependence
on Russian gas deterred European countries from taking any really meaningful action in response to the crisis.
In theory, the EU could have crippled the Russian economy by placing an embargo on Russian energy, but to do so
would have plunged much of Europe into cold and darkness."

The Iron Curtain Metaphor and the Fence Walls of the US and Hungarian Border Barriers – Part I
"From the moment Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced the border fence onwards, US President

Contemporary Lessons of the Life of Saint Thomas Becket – Esztergom, 5 January 2019
"Saint Thomas of Canterbury serves as a role model for us in more ways than one. For us, he is not just a saint, but a courageous man who stood up for the truth and Christianity at the cost of his own exemplary life and continues to connect two nations with illustrious histories."

Speech at the Saint Thomas Becket Commemoration – Esztergom, 5 January 2019
"Becket’s martyrdom, in defence of religious freedom, had a profound impact on British attitudes to religious freedom over the centuries, notwithstanding the Reformation. Arguably, Britain has done more to influence the way we in the Western world see modern human rights, including religious freedom, than any nation."
