The low point was the Pope's botched appointment last month of the new Archbishop of Warsaw, who had to immediately resign after revelations that he had been an informant for the Polish communist regime.

As Ambassador to Portugal when pro-Communist military men took over in 1975, he stood up to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who felt that the U.S. should break with the Lisbon regime. Carlucci urged support for Portugal's moderate left as the best way to ensure the downfall of the Communist hard-liners. He prevailed, and was proved correct...
