Ferenc Farkas (Jesuit priest)

Ferenc Farkas (born in Székelyudvarhely, Austria-Hungary, date unknown; died in Rome, Italy, 1954) was a Hungarian Jesuit priest and professor of dogmatic theology. He was a significant figure in the Hungarian Jesuit community during the mid-20th century, known for his scholarship and dedication to theological education. He served as a professor at various Jesuit institutions, including in Hungary before being forced into exile. Following the suppression of religious orders in Hungary after World War II, Farkas went into exile and continued his work in Rome, where he remained until his death. He contributed significantly to the preservation of Hungarian theological traditions abroad and mentored several generations of Hungarian Jesuits in exile. Details about his specific publications and scholarly contributions are scarce due to the political climate of the time and the subsequent limitations on access to relevant archives.
