Kurzfassung:
Discusses the Hungarian Catholic Church's attitude towards fascism, Nazism, and the "Jewish question" as shown in the Catholic press, records of parliamentary debates and episcopal conferences, and the archives of the Bishopric of Esztergom. Emphasizes that, in general, the Church opposed Nazism. The mainstream of Hungarian Catholics was conservative and supported the constitution. A smaller group, including some converted Jews, wanted social reform and progress towards democracy and categorically opposed antisemitism. Another group tended towards fascism, antisemitism, and the Arrow Cross. The debates on the anti-Jewish laws revealed the ambiguous results of the Church's support for the existing order: most Catholic deputies voted for them, but the higher clergy, in the upper house, voted against the third (racist) law, mainly in the interests of converts. States that after the German occupation the Church opposed persecution of the Jews and engaged in rescue.
