Cardinal József Mindszenty refused to leave the U.S. Legation in Budapest where he had lived since 1956 unless the Hungarian government met his demands for religious freedom in Hungary. Cardinal Carlos María de la Torre of Quito, Ecuador, was 89 years old and could not make the journey because he had suffered a stroke the previous December and was bedridden with thrombosis.
