Absztrakt (kivonat)

More than 120 years ago, in 1892, József Ambrus, the parish priest from the Diocese of Csanád in Kisorosz, published a volume on the military clergy participants in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. In the midst of the church conflicts and national identity questions that were raging in the 1890s, the patriotism of Catholic priests was increasingly being called into question. Ambrus expressed his disappointment that “patriotism today is a matter of throat and pen”, and he condemned the kind of “small-minded view” that considered only Hungarian speakers to be Hungarians. In his work he aimed to prove the patriotism of the linguistically and culturally diverse Catholic clergy during the Revolution of 1848. “Those who, through a thousand dangers and storms, sacrificed their blood and lives, deserve not to be forgotten. We owe it to them to prove with facts and names, to the country and to the world, that the Catholic clergy, not only in the churches and on the pulpit, not only through words but through actions, on the battlefield, in fire and water, in the smoke of guns and cannonballs, was as patriotic and brave as anyone.” These were the words with which Ambrus in his preface summarized the task before him.1 One hundred and twenty years in itself would be a good enough reason to take into account the more recent literature, even if we restrict the research to the Diocese of Csanád, and taking advantage of the Roman Catholic Diocesan Archives of Temesvár, we take a look again at the history of the clergy in the army. Numerous soldiers of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, including, for example, László Baross, had a history almost impossible to learn about without the sources in the Temesvár archives. Since people took up Hungarian or different names, it is difficult to track all the changes in people’s names. Among our goals is the comparison of the results of military history research and church history research. In the future we hope to treat the history of the Diocese of Csanád in 1848–49 in a monograph. The first part of one of the chapters of this work is presented below, which deals with the members of the clergy who took arms in the army. Thus, in this writing we do not deal with military chaplains, national militia or other members of the clergy who took arms outside the context of national defense.
