Catholic bishop was a communist agent, official says

A Roman Catholic bishop of Czechoslovakia was listed as an agent for the communist government's secret service, according to an official from a government institute that is making the service's files public.

Bishop Jan Sokol was registered by the Czech secret service as an agent in the spring of 1989, just months before he was appointed archbishop in then-communist Czechoslovakia, Miroslav Lehky of Slovakia's Institute of the National Memory said Thursday.
