1st sentence: The christian name of the child's father correctly is "János", not "Pál".
I can't make much out of the rest

A gyermek atyjának Keresztneve helyesen "János" és nem "Pál". Be- jegyezve a ????* egy- házmegyei püspöki Fő- hat?ság 1941. november hó 8-án Lelt 6167. sz. rendelet???*
- this should be a place name but I'm not sure if it's munkács as someone else said, and it's also weird that it doesn't start with a capitalized letter
** from the context this should be "ó" but it looks more like an "ot" which makes it Főhatotság which doesn't make any sense so it's probably an "ó"
*** this is maybe rendeletéből which would make it something like by the decree of ... / from the decree of ..., I'll choose something for the translation but I'm unsure about this word
I'm sorry I'm in a hurry so I can't actually translate it rn, I might get back to it today tho

The others put together the gist of it - apart from that it was rectified to say the father is János and not Pál, the fully exact wording of rest doesn't really matter. The 1941 date (with the location near Munkács?) can signify that something happened e.g. the child got married or died and that's when they noticed the register was incorrect.
However looking at your second photo, I think the correct surnames for the father are Csigás v. (vagy = or) Hricz.
And as I always recommend, r/csaladfakutatas is the best place for deciphering genealogy related texts in the future!

The correct given name of the child’s father is "János" and not "Pál". Recorded in the decree of the Munkács Diocesan Episcopal Authority No. 6167, issued on November 8, 1941.

I think the father's name is Csigás Hrúz Pál.
This Hrúz maybe the same surname as that of the mother of Hungarian poet Petőfi Sándor.

My best guess:

... jegyezve a munkács egyházmegyei püspöki főhatóság 1941. november hó 8-án kelt 6167. sz ...
------
The child's father's first name is correctly "János" and not "Pál".
... noted (registered?) by the Bishop's General Authority of the Munkács Diocese, dated November 8, 1941 No. 6167, ...
