Yow s besa ‘Dear Mom: Have You Cardinal Trial [Forgotten the Dress?’
As ‘Artificial’
Charges Hungafian Reds Seeking to Wreck Church
By NORMAN MONTELLIER United Press Staff Correspondent ROME, Feb. 14—His Holiness
Pope Pius XII told an extraordi-
dinals today that Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty of Hungary had been forced to make a confession and called his trial “arti ficial and captious.” i The Pontiff told the assembled princes of the church that “the principal aim of the entire (Cardinal Mindszenty) sentence was that: of upsetting the Catholic Church in Hungary. Cardinal Mindszenty was sentenced to life imprisonment on charges of treason by a Peoples Court in Budapest after a three-|! day trial. Six co-defendants also were found guilty and sentenced to -prison.
Lack of Information
" “However, in spite of the Insufficiency and the lack of security of information, we cannot omit mentioning the opinion whieh-the civilized world has giv. en about this judgment,” the Pope said. “Above all, about the excessive and suspect rapidity of the procedure, the artificial and captious construction of the accusations, and the physical condition of the Cardinal appeared to be an accusation not against the accused but’ against those who accused and condemned him.” He said the trial in Budapest used Cardinal Mindszenty as a means of attacking the Vatican by charging it with directing the Hungarian people to oppose Hie} Communist government. Praises Hungarians He _ praised ‘the Hungarian) people, saying that “despite the] fact that they found themselves # in very grave difficulty, they do| the utmost to defend their religion and to renew the glorious traditions of - their forefathers.” The Pope also said. it was “a great consolation” to have received messages of condolences from the world Catholic clergy and from the faithful after the Cardinal's sentence. v “We are delivering our prayers to the Lord, beseeching from him to comfort with the dew of divine
