Archbishop of Prague from 1946 to 1969. Elevated to the cardinalate in 1965.
Convicted in a show-trial by the Czech communists and imprisoned from 1949 to 1963.
Sorry for the watermarks.

Beran was the author of an article "de Ordine Missae secundum Tertullianum apologeticum" which appeared in a Festschift dedicated to Fr Cunibert Mohlberg. Unremarkable except that he wrote the first half in Dachau and the second half while in prison and under house arrest under the Czech Communist regime! An amazing witness to the Faith.
