Talk:Andrej Hlinka

He was one of a number of politically active early 20th century priests who so embarrassed the Vatican that Hitler was able to use a law barring clergymen from holding public office as a bargaining chip with Pius. After the war the trend continued until John Paul just flat-out forbade priests from being politicians in any nation in the world (excluding of course the Vatican itself). I've wondered why Pius just didn't do this earlier to crimp Hlinka and all the others. Turtle Fan 22:17, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
