When Mindszenty began criticizing conditions in Hungary, a papal nuncio reminded him of a Vatican promise to the Communists that the cardinal would accept the Pope's guidance and not disrupt church relations with the Hungarian regime-a condition to which Mindszenty said he never agreed.

Then, in 1967, Pope Paul VI named Italian Archbishop Luigi Dadaglio as Apostolic Nuncio-papal ambassador-to Spain. Dadaglio arrived in Madrid with a virtual mandate to bring new blood into the Spanish hierarchy.
