All that my enemies can take from me is my life." By those words he anticipated his present predicament. and. more significantly. he anticipated the ugly travesty on law and justice by which his life is now put in jeopardy. The charges against Cardinal Mindszenty are that he engaged in treason. espionage. blackmarket currency manipulation. and attempts to restore the Hapsburg monarchy. On the other hand. the facts show that the acts to which he would proudly plead guilty are: First. Denunciation of tyrannical methods employed by a police state. Second. Assailing the Government for abolition of church holy days. Third. Refusing to permit Government interference with distribution of privately donated relief supplies. Fourth. Denunciation of enforced mass deportations of Germans from Hungary and Hungarians from Czechoslovakia. Fifth. Opposition to nationalization and confiscation of Catholic schools.
