Ottokár Prohászka in front of the Sacred Consistorial Congregation of Rome (1911–1913)

On the 2nd April 2016 I held a lecture with the title “Ottokár Prohászka and the Sacra Congregatio Consistorialis of Rome (1911–1913)” at the request of Gergely Mózessy, the senior archivist of the Episcopal Archives of Székesfehérvár. I examined the role of the Consistorial Congregation, the second most prestigious “ministry” in the Roman Curia after the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office, in the curial action against him.
