Speakers at a Catholic meeting at the Albert Hall, called to protest against the trial of Cardinal Mindszenty, denouneed the influence of Communism in Europe. England's premier Catholic layman, the Duke of Norfolk, said that many people in Europe wanted to be friends with the West, but they were dominated by their Communist rulers. > _ "The great obstacle to these Communists' designs is the Christian religion," he added, "and in most cases we can say plainly that it is the Catholic Church."
The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Liverpool, Dr. Richard Downey, moved a resolution protesting against "the grave breach of peace witn the church and human family by which a great priest and great son of the Hungarian people is held in violent hands." The resolution went on: "We are filled with disgust at this fruit of hatred and terrorism. We demand that the lost voice of truth, which millions have been forced to declare and accept, be repu'diated by aJ who desire the human family to live together in truth and justiee."]
