Yes, this is true. I fixed some other errors using http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B3zsef_Mindszenty. -- Hreid 16:49, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A controversial person? Why?

Mindszenty went to the U.S. Embassy as a place of refuge, and the U.S. Government offered him sanctuary. Had Mindszenty actually left the embassy at any time, he would have been arrested by Hungary's Communist government. It was only in 1971, when the Hungarian government agreed to allow Mindszenty to leave the country, that he left the embassy.

Expanded.

Added info on controversy, structured, a little bit expanded. Mindszenty was much like Ratzinger is. 195.70.32.136 15:41, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fawning POV

This entire page is moving towards a fawning POV regarding Mindszenty. There is too much rewriuting of the criticism to red-bait critics and soften the controversy, expecially regarding his tolerance of antisemitic attacks.--Cberlet 02:11, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is pretty strange, isn't it? Nothing at all about his trial, confession, or the brainwashing allegations? Mindszenty confessed that he had orchestrated the theft of Hungary's crown jewels (including the Crown of Saint Stephen) with the explicit purpose of crowning Otto Von Hapsburg emporer of Eastern Europe. He admitted that he had schemed to remove the Communist government; that he had planned a Third World War, and that, once this war was won by the Americans, he himself would assume political power in Hungary. Why isn't this information in the article? Again, it's weird. 74.140.211.161 16:11, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
