On the occasion of Pope Francis’s visit to Hungary, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of Pázmány Péter Catholic University featured interviews with two members of the Fraknói Research Group, Gábor Nemes and Viktor Kanász, in the latest episode of Hic et Nunc Aktuál.
In the discussion moderated by Kristóf Dallman, a number of particularly intriguing and significant aspects of the historical relationship between the papacy and Hungary were addressed. The conversation touched upon King Saint Stephen and the sending of the crown, the Investiture Controversy, Sigismund of Luxembourg and the Council of Constance, Tamás Bakócz’s stay in Rome, the assassination of Cardinal György Martinuzzi, the Hungarian-related reports of sixteenth-century papal nuncios, as well as Péter Pázmány’s Roman connections and contemporary perception.
