One of the central figures of clerical antisemitism during this period was Ottokár Prohászka, the Bishop of Székesfehérvár. Identified as the apostle of Hungarian Catholic bintellectuals, Prohászka’s spiritual leadership and sophisticated anti-Judaism exerted a profound influence on public opinion for several decades.[13] His zoological imagery and scornful comments about the Jews often paralleled those made by the Nazis. On July 29, 1919, for example, he wrote, among other things:
In our case it is important to note that the Jews are eating us up and we have to defend ourselves against this bedbug epidemic. It is absolutely true that there are good Jews, but Jewry is foreign, a foreign power that suppresses Christianity, conquers and
exploits us … Here we are dealing with the rampage of a cunning, faithless, and immoral race, a bedbug invasion, a rat campaign. There is only one question: How do we defend ourselves?[14]

13 During his entire tenure as Bishop of Székesfehérvár (1906-1927), Bishop Prohászka was at the forefront of the antisemitic drive in Hungary. He was of German background, the son of an officer in the Sudetenland. A prolific author, his writings, including his sermons and speeches, were posthumously published in twenty-five volumes; Kis, Megjelölve Krisztus, pp. 246-254.
