ANDRÁSSY, ANTAL. - Jesuit, bishop of Rosenau, b. at Romanfalva (Hungary) in 1742 and d. at Rosenau on 12 November 1799. Having entered the Society of Jesus, then reduced to a secular priest because of the suppression of the Order in 1773, he was first parish priest (1776) at Rosenau and then bishop (1780-99). Most zealous — he founded 20 new parishes — and combative, he opposed energetically the prevailing Josephinism and the deviations of every kind in culture and in ecclesiastical discipline. Having refused to unite in marriage a Catholic with a Protestant woman separated from her husband, he was deprived of his possessions and forced to retire to a convent of Capuchins, where he led a life of great poverty, while continuing to govern the diocese, until his death.
