It is only through the mercy of God that He lets us wait until the last minute to accept our repentence.

The Piarists also played a major role in keeping Catholic Secondary Schools going.

In it, he came very close to making an apology, but ended up only justifying his actions. It contains an interesting commentary by a Hungarian historian on Kadar's mental state, as well as the original footage from Nagy's trial. I also met a relative of Mindszenty, who explained how his family suffered during the time he was in both internal and external exile.
