He was Archbishop of Esztergom between 1279 and 1298, and Bishop of Várad (now Oradea in Romania) from 1268 till 1279. He was an opponent of Ladislaus IV of Hungary whom he excommunicated for failing to force the Cumans to adopt the Christian way of life.

Haab, Bishop Of Vác
Haab ( hu, Háb; died in 1311 or 1312) was a Hungarian prelate at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, who served as Bishop of Vác from 1294 until his death. Theories of origin The origin of Haab (also Hab or Abba) is uncertain. Matthew II Csák referred to him as his "relative" (''cognatus'') in his charter issued in February 1276. Since the 18th century, several historians – including Jesuit scholar Károly Wagner – considered that Haab was the brother of Amadeus Aba. Based on the sole aforementioned biographical element regarding his ancestry, Nándor Knauz (1882) argued that Haab belonged to the ''gens'' (clan) Csák. In his 1917 monograph on the diocese of Vác, Ferenc Chobot refused this and claimed that Haab belonged to the Galgóc (or Széplak) branch of the ''gens'' (clan) Aba. He also argued that the name of Haab (or Abba) is in fact a family name (Aba) and identified his person with a certain Lucas, who served as provost of Esztergom, then Szepes, and ch ...

Tithe
A tithe (; from Old English: ''teogoþa'' "tenth") is a one-tenth part of something, paid as a contribution to a religious organization or compulsory tax to government. Today, tithes are normally voluntary and paid in cash or cheques or more recently via online giving, whereas historically tithes were required and paid in kind, such as agricultural produce. After the separation of church and state, church tax linked to the tax system are instead used in many countries to support their national church. Donations to the church beyond what is owed in the tithe, or by those attending a congregation who are not members or adherents, are known as offerings, and often are designated for specific purposes such as a building program, debt retirement, or mission work. Many Christian denominations hold Jesus taught that tithing must be done in conjunction with a deep concern for "justice, mercy and faithfulness" (cf. Matthew 23:23). Tithing was taught at early Christian church councils, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Diocese Of Veszprém
In church governance, a diocese or bishopric is the ecclesiastical district under the jurisdiction of a bishop. History In the later organization of the Roman Empire, the increasingly subdivided provinces were administratively associated in a larger unit, the diocese (Latin ''dioecesis'', from the Greek term διοίκησις, meaning "administration"). Christianity was given legal status in 313 with the Edict of Milan. Churches began to organize themselves into dioceses based on the civil dioceses, not on the larger regional imperial districts. These dioceses were often smaller than the provinces. Christianity was declared the Empire's official religion by Theodosius I in 380. Constantine I in 318 gave litigants the right to have court cases transferred from the civil courts to the bishops. This situation must have hardly survived Julian, 361–363. Episcopal courts are not heard of again in the East until 398 and in the West in 408. The quality of these courts was l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
