Editing Jozef Tiso (section)

===Childhood and education===
Jozef Tiso was born in [[Bytča]] (then {{langx|hu|Nagybiccse}}) to [[Slovaks|Slovak]] [[Latin Catholic]] parent, in [[Trencsén County]], of the [[Kingdom of Hungary]], part of the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]]. Tiso's father, also named Jozef, was a [[butcher]], while his mother,  Terézia, came from a poor family involved in [[pottery]].{{sfn|Ward|2013|pp=14-15}} The second of seven children who survived infancy, Tiso was raised in a religious family and studied at the local elementary school. Then, as a good student with a flair for languages, he studied at a lower [[grammar school]] in [[Žilina]]. The school had clearly Hungarian spirit, since all Slovak grammar schools were closed at the time of his study. Here, he began to use the [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]] form of his name Tiszó József.{{sfn|Kamenec|2013|p=22}} 

In 1902, he began to study at higher [[Piarists|Piarist]] grammar school in [[Nitra]].{{sfn|Ward|2013|pp=16-17}} The Bishop of [[Nitra]], Imre Bende, offered him a chance to study for the priesthood at the prestigious Pázmáneum in [[Vienna]].{{sfn|Ward|2013|p=21}} Tiso, taught by several elite professors, became familiar with various philosophies and the newest [[Encyclical|papal encyclicals]]. During these studies, [[Ignatius of Loyola]]'s ''[[Spiritual Exercises]]'' became a crucial influence for Tiso, with its emphasis on self-discipline, obedience to authority, and militant attitude against spiritual and worldly enemies.{{sfn|Ward|2013|pp=17-18}} Tiso also extended his language skills; along with already knowning [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]], [[German language|German]] and [[Latin]], he studied [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]], [[Aramaic|Aramaic dialects]] and [[Arabic languages|Arabic]]. The school reports describe him mostly as an "excellent", "exemplary", and "pious" student. Enrolling in the [[Pázmáneum]] in 1906, he was ordained a priest in 1910 and graduated as a [[Doctor of Theology]] in 1911. Influenced by his professors [[Ignaz Seipel]] and [[Franz Martin Schindler]], in addition to city mayor [[Karl Lueger]], Tiso began to gravitate towards the ideas of  [[integralism]] and [[Christian socialism]] during his time in Vienna.{{sfn|Ward|2013|pp=23-26}}
