The origins of catholic political thought in life work of V. S. Štulc
Záškoda, Miloslav ; Doubek, Vratislav (advisor) ; Klementová, Eliška (referee)
The subject of this paper is the public role of the Catholic priest in the Czech national society of the 19th century, when the Catholic Church lost its ideological and influential position and when it had to face the process of secularization. The situation of the Catholic Church had changed radically as it became only one of many different cultural or political entities in that century and had to find new means of how to influence opinions of the people. This essay discusses the life and work of Václav Štulc (1814 - 1887), a Czech Catholic priest and an enthusiastic patriot. It describes three fundamental tendencies in his political thought. The first tendency in his work is associated with his role of representative of the Catholic Church and with his emphasizing the importance of religious values for the common good of society. Štulc's conservatism is based on very sharp criticism of the Enlightenment, revolutionary violence and the enlightened rule of Emperor Joseph II. Štulc urges all social classes to respect the basic laws and to maintain public order. Secondly, Štulc often refers to the relationship of the religious and national identities. Štulc is trying to unite the Catholic faith with the modern concept of the nation, challenging many prejudices about the Catholic Church and...

Drugs addiction and Church's position
Kalivoda, Miroslav ; Eliáš, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Kuźniar, Mariusz (referee)
English abstract This thesis is entitled "Požívání návykových látek a stanovisko církve", or, in English, "Use of Addictive Substances and Attitudes of the Church." It aims at providing - at least a limited - description of this problem, which is a negative feature of modern history of the Czech Republic. Following a shift in its political system in 1989, when a liberal capitalist system replaced a Communist system, the structure of values and the social structure of Czech society - young people in particular - changed much. Most of the data that I use apply to the Czech Republic and, to a lesser degrese, the European Union and the US. I look at these data from the perspective of the Catolic Church, that is to say, Christian ethics, morals, and the Canon law. I also examine the effect of evil with regard to this issue. The belief that the real situation of using addictive substance is very bad and extremely dangerous for the future hasproved to be correct. The Czech republic is one of the worst affected countries in Europe in term of using addictive substances (tobacco, alcohol, and illegal drugs). This is due to underestimating and taking a negligent approach to the problem in the past, among other factors. This had resulted in a rapid increase in use of these substances and in related crime. These is a...
