The Pope disagrees with Hungary's stance on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and its refugee policies.
Pope Francis arrives in Hungary on Friday for a three-day pastoral visit - his first full trip to the country since he became Pope 10 years ago.
"It will also be a journey to the centre of Europe, over which the icy winds of war continue to blow," the Pope said ahead of his visit. "From Rome, Pope Francis sees precisely this unfair struggle and senseless war hysteria," the article went on. Hungary has refused to either supply arms to Ukraine, or to allow Nato allies to deliver them across Hungarian airspace.
"The devil hides in the details," Hodász told the BBC. "The Hungarian government is calling for peace at any cost. An immediate ceasefire which could confirm existing front lines. That contrasts with the words of the Holy Father, that Russia should pull back to the old borders. The Pope recognises Ukraine's legitimate right to self-defence."
On Friday, Pope Francis will meet Mr Orban and Hungarian President Katalin Novak, the architect of the country's attempts to encourage couples to have more children. The main conflict in the past between Pope Francis and the Hungarian government was the pontiff's compassion for refugees and asylum seekers, contrasted with Hungarian government hostility.
