...Father Mindszenty harbored Jews in his palace and relentlessly denounced the Nazis from the pulpit until his arrest in 1944. After the war, Mindszenty became primate of Hungary and by 1948 was leading opposition to the Communist regime's plans to nationalize Church-operated schools and set up a Hungarian Church independent of-Rome.
