...Hungary, every diocese now .has a bishop for the first time since 1948. But while an estimated 65% of the population are Catholic, far fewer attend religious services. That is partly the result of a long vacuum in Catholic leadership during Jozsef Cardinal Mindszenty's 15 years of asylum in the U.S. embassy in Budapest.

To anyone old enough to recall the dark presence of untempered Stalinism in Eastern Europe, Mindszenty was, and is, a stirring, heroic, tragic figure. To many people, he remains a symbol of the ultimate incompatibility of Communism and Christianity, of the righteous intransigence of a man of God before godless men.
