...Pope did not forget the 65 million Catholics who live under Communism. Among those elevated to the purple were two prelates no longer in command of their sees: Ukrainian Metropolitan Josyf Slipyi, who came to Rome in 1963 after 18 years of Soviet imprisonment, and Czech Primate Josef Beran, who is still under virtual house arrest near Prague. One new East European cardinal who does govern his diocese is Yugoslavia's Primate, Archbishop Franjo Seper of Zagreb. His careful policy of accommodation with Tito may lead to a restoration of diplomatic relations between the Vatican and Yugoslavia...

Since officials of the Balzan Foundation* were scheduled to visit the Pope with the formal announcement that...
Only the Beginning. The Vatican regards Slipyi's release as only the beginning. "This was a simple act of personal respect by the Russian government for Pope John." says one Vatican official. "It also gives us hope that other negotiations will work out." There is little doubt as to who would be the subjects of other negotiations: Hungary's Josef Cardinal Mindszenty. a political refugee in the U.S. legation at Budapest since the 1956 uprising, and Archbishop Josef Beran of Prague, who was seized by Czech Communists in 1950, has not been heard from since...
