On May 7, 1598 Káldi entered the Society of Jesus. He was a canon capitular in Esztergom, professor of moral theology in Olomouc, novice master in Brunn and Leoben, rector in Trnava, as well as rector in the Jesuit college in Pressburg. His greatest contribution is the translation of the Bible into Hungarian done in Trnava where he was born. This Bible, the Szent Biblia, was published at Vienna in 1626, the first complete translation of the Catholic Bible into Hungarian, and it was in use down to the current century. He also wrote a Lectionary of Gospels and Epistles for Sundays and Feast Days of the Church Year (1635). Many volumes of his sermons have also been preserved.
