"Canon law was my own free choice. While studying at the theological faculty in Budapest, I wrote my doctoral dissertation on the philosophical and theological foundations of canon law in the writings of Nicholas of Cusa. At the end of the 1940s, my father was among the last students at the faculty of civil law to also study canon law. As a seminarian in the first half of the 1970s, I saw first-hand, on the one hand, the discussions on the legitimacy of canon law in the Church and, on the other, the need to clearly consider the legislation in force after the conciliar reforms but before the new Code. I therefore saw the great need for this discipline in the life of the Church."
