PHOTOS: Hungarian anti-Communist arcbishop’s statue inaugurated in Portugal
The head of the Prime Minister’s Office inaugurated a statue of Archbishop József Mindszenty in Fatima, in central Portugal, on Saturday. He said the cleric’s life’s work had been “an embodiment of Hungary’s Christian past and shows the way to what we should become.”
Mindszenty “faced every dictatorship of the 20th century mercilessly,” Gergely Gulyás said. “That is why he was tortured and imprisoned by the Hungarian Soviet Republic [of 1919], the Hungarian Nazis led by Ferenc Szálasi, and the Communist dictatorship under the command of Mátyás Rákosi. He was unbreakable in issues of faith, national freedom and human dignity,” he said.
