  • From Hungary:
    In March 2007, Gájer Lásló, priest candidate in Budapest (today ordained priest), wrote us about the 10th anniversery of a circular of the Hungarian bishop conference with the theme: "For a more just and brotherly world" (1996). On this conference (18. - 20.05.2006) the president of the Republic of Hungary, Mádl Ferenc, gave a speech with the title: "The circular and the Hungarian society." He talked about the Christian Social Teaching, especially the principle of subsidiarity. The president underlined the importance of the above mentioned book by Cardinal Hoeffner, which Gájer Lásló had pointed out to him -  ordered by the bishop - to prepare his speech at the conference. There he accentuated the importance of this book for the today's Hungarian society.
     
  • Höffners Christian Social Teaching in Minsk
    Since 2001 Director Grigorij and Dr. theol. Vladimir Khulap are working in Minsk as professors at the European Humanistic University (EHU), at the "Center of  Sts. Method and Cyrill", as well as at the Theologic Faculty charged with the education of the orthodox clericals. In searching for appropriate teaching material for the students in the areas Economics and Society they came across with the Russian translation of Höffners "Christian Social Teaching" which Ordo Socialis has printed in Moscow and is offered for sale in the clerical book-trade. Thus the Treves and Münster Professor Josef Höffner ist posthumous also master teacher of more than 300 students and future priets of the Greek church in White-Russia.
