The book analyzes the relationship between the Council and the "Ostpolitik" of the Vatican through the history of the Hungarian presence at Vatican II. Pope John XXIII, elected in 1958, was a catalyst. The pope thought that his most urgent task was to renew contacts with the Church behind the iron curtain. Hungarian participation at the Council was also made possible by the new, pragmatic model in Hungarian church politics. After the crushing of the 1956 Revolution, churches in Hungary thought that the regime would last and were willing to compromise. Vatican II -- in the perspective of Hungary -- was not primarily an ecclesial event, but it remained closely joined to the negotiations between the Holy See and the Kádár regime: during the Council Hungary became the experimental laboratory of the Vatican's new eastern policy. Was it a Vatican decision or a Soviet instruction? Fejérdy suggests that it was a decision of the Holy See."--JSTOR website (viewed April 13, 2017) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on August 10, 2022) SUBJECT Vatican Council (2nd : 1962-1965 : Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano) -- History Vatican Council (2nd : 1962-1965 : Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano) -- Influence Vatican Council fast Subject Communism and Christianity -- Hungary Communism and Christianity -- Catholic Church.
