Not all pastor's children remain close to the Church, despite the fact that they grew up in a religious environment and had the example and model of Christian living. The theoretical objective of my thesis is to explore pastor's children's motivations for living a pious life. For there can be external and internal motivation. The external motivation is when the pastor's child practices godly living and godly speaking, but not from an internal motivation, not from faith. They are not living a godly lifestyle because they feel they need to and because it is of value to them, but they are just living up to expectations. They behave and speak as expected by their parents, their congregation or their environment. They live godly lives either for external recognition and reward, such as the recognition of the church community or the pride of their parents, or perhaps to earn God's approval.

Miklós Telegdi, a Roman Catholic bishop of the reformation period, was an important figure of his generation. The confessional guide of his Agendarius, first published in 1583 in nagyszombat (Trnava, now in Slovakia), is particular as to its structure and content. in Hungary, this is the first penitential guide that was written in a unique style, including vernacular parts and containing exhortations in a large number. The confessional includes a text discussing the strict obligation on the seal of confession as well as a confession mirror which, according to its genre, is a tool of individual self-examination. In my paper, I attempt to answer the question whether Telegdi’s confessional guide is only unique from a national point of view or also in a wider, international context.

Vizsgálódásunk olyan dilemmákra adhat megoldást, melyek ma is relevánsak. Mert a dolgok jelentésének értelmet kereső ember láthatja, hogy van értelme keresésének, érdemes elkezdeni azt. Mert ha beszélhetünk a lelkek preegzisztenciájáról, milyen jogon hajtunk végre mesterséges terhesség-megszakítást? Mert az önmaga sorsával elégedetlen, aki minden és mindenki mást okol nyomorúságáért végre irányt válthat, és felélesztheti saját felelősségét.
