Real Moral Issue Has Been Obscured, Says An Anglican Bishop
LONDON, Feb 21 (Reed 6. pm).— Discussing the trial of Cardinal Mindszenty the Anglican Bishop of Sheffield (Doctor Hunter) says, in the current issue of the Sheffield Diocesan Review:
“Cardinal Mindszenty deserves our respect, our gratitude and our prayers, but the real moral issue has been not a little obscured by the emotional propaganda of the Roman Catholic Church and the extravagant and historical statements of which many of its spokesmen have been guilty. It also has been obscured by the Cardinal himself, who, on his own admission, has been associated with political intrigues against the Hungarian Government. Again, we have to distinguish between two different elements in the Hungarian conflict, namely a conflict between a police State and Christian standards of justice and freedom and the collision between a totalitarian state and a totalitarian church, that is also manoeuvring, or lighting, lor political power."—(Special N.Z.P.A.).
