Az erdélyi katolikus oktatás kérdése a két világháború között a Szentszék és Románia közötti kapcsolatokban

Absztrakt

In this article, I present the development of the Hungarian-language Catholic education in Transylvania in the context of the diplomatic relations between the Romanian Kingdom and the Holy See. My conclusion is that this period consists of two parts: Until the signing of the Concordat in 1927, the Holy See favored Romanian expectations in the hope that that Greek Catholic influence would grow in the country. However, the Concordat had no such effect, so in the second part, from 1932, the Holy See was more open to the problems of Hungarian speaking Roman Catholics. This turning point made it possible to preserve most of the denominational schools in this region.
