ThischargewasatypicalCommunistdistortion.Truthwasthat onedayin1944,Hungary'sNazi dictator,FerencSzalasi,haddecidedtosetupheadquartersin thebishop'spalace.Mindszenty, whowasshelteringabout100 Jewsinhiscellaratthetime, declaredthatsolongashewas bishop,noneofSzaiasi'smen wouldenter.TheNazispromptly occupiedthepalace.Thepolice foundasizablestoreofclothes whichMindszentyhadquietly collectedforHungary'sperse- cutedandpillagedJewry.The clothesincludedunderwearwhich Szalasthadwantedforhisown troops.

"FORRIGHTEOUSNESS' SAKE"

ThereasonforMindszenty's arrest istswasplain.TheCommunwantedtodemonstratethat nopowerremainedinHungary thatcouldstandagainstthem.Thedemonstrationmightnot proveentirelysuccessful.Two daysafterMindszenty'sarrest wasmadepublic,theMinisterof theInteriorsummonedfourof Hungary'sRomanCatholicbishopswho,jointlywiththeirPrimate,hadstaunchlyheldout againstagovernmentplande signedtomaketheCatholic clergyvirtuallyemployeesofthe State.Theministertoldthefour hold-outs,onpainofimprisonment,toresign.Theyflatlyrefused.Nevertheless,theCommunistpresstrumpetedthenews thatHungary'sBenchofBishops hadagreedtotheirterms.

AsforMindszenty,theHungariangovernmentformallyannouncedthat"undertheweight ofevidenceagainsthim[he] madeaconfession."But,sofar, theCommunistshavenotpub-lishedanyconfession,withor withouthissignature.Cardinal Mindszenty,despitethehuman frailtyheknew,wasastrong man.Justbeforehisarrest,he hadwritten:"Thisisnowthe wordoftheSermononthe Mount:"Blessedaretheywho arepersecutedforrighteousness' sake,fortheirsisthekingdomof heaven."
