Still, the month's only dramatic action came not from much-publicized liberal quarters, but from the church's Ukrainian hierarchy. Exiled Josyf Cardinal Slipyi took the synod floor to break an eight-year silence over the persecution of the 4,500,000 Roman Catholic Ukrainians, who have been forced into Eastern Orthodoxy by the Soviet regime. They have, he said, "sacrificed rivers of blood and mountains of bodies because of their fidelity to the Apostolic See, but they are defended by no one"-an obvious attack on Pope Paul's diplomatic Ostpolitik.

Jan Willebrands of the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity (who had escorted Slipyi out of Russia) that Adzhubei would like a private audience with the Pope. The Vatican, wary of what the Communists would do with that in Italy's general election next month, refused, and suggested a general audience with other Vatican visitors. Adzhubei rejected that proposal, but the Vatican's subtle chief of protocol, Msgr. Igino Cardinale, figured out a deft compromise.
