“...By making such a concession to the Hungarian government, Paul VI employed the authority conferred by Our Lord Jesus Christ on Saint Peter, in order to force the Cardinal not to oppose the plans of Communist imperialism. The keys of Peter functioning according to the desires of implacable atheist persecutors of religion: What is this, if not a bomb, probably the greatest bomb in the History of the Church, from Pentecost up to our day?...
(5) The worst was yet to come. Sometime later, Paul VI wrote to Cardinal Mindszenty, asking him to resign from his Archdiocese. The Cardinal refused. Paul VI deposed him. And then, a particularly bitter touch; the letter was handed over to the Cardinal precisely on the day that he was commemorating the 25th anniversary of his glorious imprisonment by the Communists.
The drama was ended. All during its course, from the beginning to the end, the conduct of the Vicar of Christ was what Communist imperialism desired, that is, what the antichrist desired.”

Yes, I read Cardinal Mindzenty’s entire memoir, and it is a sad tale indeed. Especially as regards the machinations of the Vatican.
