The Hungarian cardinal lived in the American embassy in Budapest until 1971 resisting both left and right extremism. He alienated both the United States and the Vatican as reconciliation with Communist regimes began. The Pope stripped him of his archbishopric and primacy, and Mindszenty’s exile was complete.
