...Communist leader least likely to be accused of promoting a personality cult is Hungary's Janos Kadar, a man as cold and colorless as the sour cream with which Magyars anoint the spicy stew they call szekely gulyds. Ever since he crushed the 1956 revolt, Premier Kadar has kept his picture off office walls and newspaper pages, remains so unfamiliar that even today he can walk the streets of Budapest without being recognized by many Hungarians. All the same, the new style in Communist circles these days is separation of party and government leadership, and so Kadar last week...
Lukacs' article seemed to reflect the views of the Kadar government, which last September took a notable step toward normalization of church-state relations by signing an agreement with the Vatican allowing it to appoint bishops to a number of sees. Kadar now seems willing to move on from there and provide more freedom for the country's 6,000,000 Catholics. His condition is that Josef Cardinal Mindszenty, who still lives in the U.S. legation on Freedom Square in Budapest, will play no active role in the Hungarian church. The Vatican is reluctant to negotiate any settlement...

Though Hungarian Party Boss Janos Kadar was apparently too embarrassed by the Catered Affair to reveal these details, he did bring formal charges against Onodi (whose brother-in-law is Justice Minister Ferenc Nezval). Onodi and ten cronies will go on trial later this month for having "caused damage to the economy amounting to 400,000 forints ($17,500)." No one explained just who or what had been damaged, but it seemed clear that, as one Budapest daily dejectedly commented, "the time for urimuri (gentleman's fun) is over...
...more likely explanation, however. Matheovicz has long been a follower of Hungary's Josef Cardinal Mindszenty, who still lives in self-confinement at the U.S. legation in Budapest, despite long-standing rumors that the regime would let him go free. Last week's sentences show that Kadar, despite his easing of religious restrictions, still cannot afford the resurgence of Catholic political influence...
