Title: Hungarian bishop behind bars.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: HUNGARIAN BISHOP BEHIND BARS #c-2076 BUDAPEST -- Imprisoned here as a “war criminal” Bishop Stefan Uzdoczy-Zadravetz (shown behind prison bars) has long been noted for his strong anti-Communistic attitude. He was “Army Bishop” of Admiral Nicholas Horthy’s forces after the last war. Although the bishop has been in retirement since 1928, most of the material for the accusations against him was gathered from his speeches and activities during World War I and in the “counter-revolutionary” period following it when Horthy’s regime superceded [sic] that of the Bolshevik Bela Kun. The 62-year-old prelate lives in a room with 30 other prisoners. Three times weekly he celebrates Mass in the prison chapel. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (EZ-BUDA-MES-3C-6-C)

Title: Bishop of Polish Mariaviten Church.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: BISHOP OF POLISH MARIAVITEN CHURCH #4662 WARSAW -- Bishop Sygmunt Szypold, of the Mariaviten Church of Poland, has been appointed Second assistant to the new head of a united church recently formulated here by union of the Mariavitens with the Old Catholic Church of Poland. The Mariaviten Church was established by dissident Roman Catholic priests and nuns on the basis of visions of the Virgin Mary reportedly seen by a nun. The Old Catholic Church was founded in 1870 by dissidents who refused to accept the definition of the dogma of Papal Infallibility. The churches will pool their resources under a common church government, but each will maintain its own internal organization and doctrinal teaching.
