• The paper explores the policies of the Holy See with regard to the Hungarian church during the pontificate of Pope Innocent XII (1691–1700). In the course of the great Turkish War (1683–1699) important territories of the Hungarian Kingdom had been liberated from ottoman rule, and the bishoprics and other ecclesiastical institutions started to reorganise themselves there. yet the filling of church benefices constituted a constant bone of contention between the Apostolic See and the Habsburg Court of Vienna on account of the traditional right of patronage (ius patronatus) of the Hungarian kings, and the internal disputes between the newly reorganised bishoprics were also brought to Rome. A particularly sensitive area in this respect was the situation of the Protestant Principality of Transylvania, now under Habsburg rule, where the Viennese court aimed at strengthening the Catholic Church. A special episode of the period was, in the context of the development of general European politics, the attempt by the Habsburg court to have the bishop of Győr, Duke Christian August of Saxony-Zeitz, created a cardinal. All these issues shed light on the way the Hungarian Catholic Church had changed with the expulsion of the ottomans.
