The beneficial policy of Pope Clement VI in the Diocese of Transylvania

  • TITLU în română: Politica benefică a Papei Clement al VI-lea în Eparhia Transilvaniei
  • Subiect: The purpose of this study is to present and analyse the involvement of Pope Clement VI in appointments to various ecclesiastical benefices in the Diocese of Transylvania. The key moment of this action, as well as its starting point, was the papal document of 8 October 1325, whereby Pope John XXII reserved the exclusive right to appoint the Bishops of Győr, Oradea, Pécs and Transylvania. As of this moment, which marked the official involvement of the papacy in the dioceses east of Hungary, the French pontiffs supplanted the local churchly institutions in distributing various ecclesiastical benefices. Pope Clement VI pursued the most intense beneficial policy in the Diocese of Transylvania, as he appointed 20 canons here. The canons appointed in Alba Iulia were mostly from the Kingdom of Hungary, although there were also allogeneic elements, Poles and Czechs in particular. One of the canons was Cardinal Guillaume de La Jugié, the nephew of the pope. The ecclesiastical benefices in the Diocese of Transylvania were granted by Clement VI at the intervention of highly influential persons, both temporal and ecclesiastical, who wanted to reward their relatives or collaborators with such income-related positions.
