| Summary: | At the beginning of 1929, Cardinal Luigi Sincero, Secretary of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches, dispatched a circular to the Eastern Catholic bishops, among whom was István Miklósy Byzantine Rite Eparch of Hajdúdorog. Therein, he requested them to participate in the preparation of the common Oriental Code. The response to the circular from Rome was drafted by the Chapter of Canons of Hajdúdorog, as documented by its records dated 2 May 1929. In accordance with the request, the document, on the one hand, makes personal recommendations and, on the other hand, addresses content-related and methodological aspects of the codification process. Four individuals were nominated as members of the local codification team: Jenő Bányay, Géza Melles, László Sereghy and István Bihon. According to the proposal, their subsequent assignment would involve identifying the canons that required modifications from the point of view of the ‘Greek Rite’, with reference to the text of the Codex iuris canonici as a starting point, as well as making suggestions for additional Greek disciplinary and liturgical rules. Prefaced by a brief historical introduction and formulating four fundamental codification principles, the 23-page text of the Hajdúdorog ‘Relatio’ is also retrievable from the archival material. The documentation is concluded by Cardinal Sincero’s letter (20 July 1929 ), saying thanks for the proposals |
