...chief negotiator between the Vatican and Hungary over Josef Cardinal Mindszenty, reported that Mindszenty would leave his exile in the U.S. consulate if the Pope directly asked him to, but was determined to stay in Budapest until the government gave the church an ironclad guarantee of freedom from persecution. Konig also predicted a Vatican Council ruling on mixed Protestant-Catholic marriages and the formation of a senate of bishops to help the Pope govern the church after the council completes its fourth and final session next year...
...secret in Rome often seems to be like a public announcement anywhere else. From the start, says one of the cardinals, "it was obvious to everyone that Montini had a very long lead." Some progressives at first apparently voted for Leo Josef Suenens of Malines-Brussels and Franziskus Konig of Vienna, as a reminder to the conclave that the Bishop of Rome need not always be an Italian; perhaps they had also meant to nudge a few archconservative votes toward Montini, as the least of the possible evils...
Nearly all the leading candidates have some sort of handicap that would seem to prevent them from gaining a two-thirds majority. The liberal favorites-theologically minded Leo Josef Suenens, 58, of Malines-Brussels, and Vienna's courtly, diplomatic Franziskus Konig, 57-would have to overcome the tra dition that Rome's bishop ought to be Italian.

...black Mercedes-Benz sedan belonging to Austria's legation in Hungary sped from Vienna to Budapest one morning last week and pulled up in front of the U.S. legation.

For four hours, the two clerics talked about Pope John's wish that the Hungarian primate leave the country and go to Rome as part of John's new "active neutrality" in the cold war (TIME, April...
Rahner's boldness has led him to reconsider church teaching on everything from ethics to eschatology, from the meaning of the parish to the nature of political power. "Rahner," says Cardinal Konig, "sees new aspects behind every traditional teaching." In his study of the relationship of the hierarchy to the Pope, for example, Rahner argues that the highest authority in Catholicism is not the Pope but the Pope in union with his bishops. When the Pope decides a matter for the entire church, says Rahner, he does so not by virtue of his own office alone, but as head...
