The Changes of Church Communication in the Third Millennium: The Reform of Vatican Media and its Impacts in the Period of the Credibility Crisis
Zavadilová, Tereza ; Koudelková, Petra (advisor) ; Kočí, Martin (referee) ; Franc, Jaroslav (referee)
This thesis explores a specific part of the contemporary Church communication area: the Vatican media reform that started in 2015, two years after the appointment of Pope Francis, as a part of the gradual reform of the whole Roman Curia. The aim of this still unfinished media reform is to make Vatican media (radio, TV, press office, news website Vatican News etc.) more technologically and financially effective, to share the message of Pope Francis through the most modern communication channels, to employ more laymen instead of clerics (in 2018 prefect Paolo Ruffini became the first layperson who ever led the Vatican dicastery), and to give voice to the local Church in the world. The many shifts included media unification, convergence, digitization, employing social media and a more reciprocal relationship with the public. Nevertheless, the secondary aim of the reform was to transform Vatican media into more transparent, trustworthy, and reliable source of information about the Church and the faith - especially in this era of a "credibility crisis" caused by the abuse of authority, power, conscience and sexual abuse of minors and vulnerable adults. The thesis proves that the reform has, apart from the obvious technological money-sparing face, also a content face - e.g., the aim to restore its...

Pospíšilová, Tereza ; Zavadilová, Tereza (advisor) ; Koudelková, Petra (referee)
The bachelor thesis "Communication of Pope Francis from the Perspective of High School Students" aims to map the view of selected religious high school students on the communication of Pope Francis and the Catholic Church as such. In particular, the research focuses on the way young people perceive the Pope's communication, whether they perceive differences between Pope Francis' communication and the communication of the Catholic Church, and whether the topics Pope Francis emphasizes in his communication are important for today's young generation. The analysis of the data collected from the interviews is conducted through open coding. The analytical part of the thesis is preceded by a theoretical introduction to the current state of the Catholic Church as well as an insight into the history of the papacy and its role in society. The theoretical part also discusses church communication in general, describing the tools it uses and the target groups the church focuses on today. Finally, a brief biography of Pope Francis and the form of communication used during his pontificate is also described here.

Přibyl, Michal ; Šmíd, Marek (advisor) ; Petráček, Tomáš (referee)
Relationship of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia to catholic church in the period of the First Czechoslovak Republic The bachelor thesis analyzes the relationship of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia to religion and churches in the period of the First Czechoslovak Republic. It is based on an analysis of the contemporary party press through which the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia disseminated its views and informed the Czechoslovak public about its political actions. In particular, the author seeks to establish whether the persecution of the Church that occurred after the Communist Party seized full power in 1948 could have been predicted. At the same time, the author aims to discern whether the views and attitudes of the Communist Party towards religion evolved and changed during the interwar period. Keywords communism, ideology, Czechoslovakia, catholic church, newspaper

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...
