The Hungarian Greek-Catholic Church Elevated to Sui Juris Status

As reported last week on Vatican Radio and elsewhere, the Holy Father has elevated the Hungarian Greek-Catholic Church to the status of a sui juris church, as he did in January for the Catholics of Alexandrian Rite in Eritrea. The Eparchy of Hajdúdorog has been raised to the status of a Metropolitan See, and His Excellency Fülöp Kocsis has been appointed the first archbishop. The Apostolic Exarchate of Miskolc has been raised to an Eparchy, and a new Eparchy has been created at Nyíregyháza; His Excellency Bishop Atanáz Orosz has been appointed bishop of the former, and Apostolic administrator of the latter sede vacante. Both are suffragan to Hajdúdorog.The website of the Hungarian Greek-Catholic Church has posted a very large number of photos of the installation of His Excellency Bishop Kocsis; they are also available on the church’s facebook page, along with a number of links to various videos. Here is just a small selection, reproduced with their kind permission.And here is a video of the complete ceremony; you can make it bigger by clicking the link at the top and watching it in a separate window.
