Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV received Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar for a private audience on Thursday, September 24. Following the meeting with the Pope, Magyar met with Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher at the Secretariat of State.

The Holy See Press Office stated that the discussions included the Catholic Church's contribution to life in Hungary. The leaders discussed the Hungarian socio-economic context, education, and the protection of vulnerable Christian communities worldwide. They also exchanged views on international conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, expressing a desire for increased international efforts to promote peace.

This meeting marks the first encounter between Pope Leo XIV and Magyar, who has served as prime minister since May 9 following the election of his TISZA party. Magyar succeeded Viktor Orbán, who held the office from 1998 to 2002 and from 2010 to 2026.
