Summary/Abstract: This topic is not a new one in the Pázmány scholarship, but in the light of recent sources and analyses, it is worth turning our attention to the subject. The study sheds light on the issue from three perspectives: the biography, the archbishop’s direct contact with the Princes of Transylvania, and Pázmány’s subjective attitude. His correspondence with princes and additional sources clearly show that Pázmány’s position demonstrates full consistency in content. The opinion of the Archbishop loyal to the Habsburgs has been strengthened over the years, and his personal position on the situation in Hungary and Transylvania is not contradictory, and even less shows signs of concealment.
