Seidl, Lukáš ; Provecho López, Juan Ignacio (advisor) ; Kraus, Jiří (referee)
Pope John Paul II who led the Roman Catholic Church in the period of 1978-2005 is seen as one of the most influential top officials of this religious institution. His activity in the area of media communication was very conspicuous and has been considered to be revolutionary in many respects until today.

Personally, he was very popular among the journalists.

History of the Catholic Church in Usti nad Orlici 1948-1963 and the Decane Vaclav Bostik in his Struggle with the Communst Regime
Sklenář, Michal ; Pullmann, Michal (advisor) ; Cuhra, Jaroslav (referee)
8 Abstract The thesis follows history of the Roman Catholic Church in Czechoslovakia in the 50's of the 20th century. It aims for a micro-historical approach to the problematics. The example of Václav Boštík, dean in Ústí nad Orlicí in years 1934 - 1942 and again in 1945 - 1961, captures both everyday life of the Church in the Stalin and Post-Stalin Era of the Czechoslovakian history and the strategies for survival in this very difficult time of the Church. The work analyzes situations, in which dean Boštík found himself in the 50's, and the decisions he chose or was made to choose. According to what measures he decided? When was he ready for compromise with the Communist Party and, on the contrary, when he stood firm on his opinions? How did his attitudes influenced the life of his parish? When was a conflict between parishioners and the Communist Party unavoidable and, on the other hand, when interests happened to concourse and a mutual coexistence was possible? Why did not revocation of dean Boštík come until 1961? Key words 20th century, History of Communism, Roman Catholic Church, Ústí nad Orlicí, Václav Boštík (1897 - 1963)

Benedictine Convent of St. Gabriel at Prague Smíchov
Wagner, David ; Foltýn, Dušan (advisor) ; Těšínská Lomičková, Radka (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the history of Saint Gabriel's Benedictine nunnery at Smíchov, which made a part of beuron congregation. I focus on a few disputable issues, which haven't been sufficiently solved so far and often have been neglected by Czech literature. The crucial question is, why exactly did the nuns have to leave the monastery. To provide an answer to this problem I had to perform a thorough study of the Beuron phenomenon in the context of the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the twentieth century, and, above all, I had to scrutinize the background of particular nuns. In this work, among other, I come to a conclusion that the reason for the nuns' departure, as well as for the overall specificity of the nunnery / monastery, was an unusual combination of extreme catholicism, German nationalism and their mostly aristocratic background. All the three aspects were in disagreement with the values acknowledged by the newly-emerged state of Czechoslovakia, whose apparatus didn't understand or didn't want to understand the mentality of the nuns and their commitments. This situation eventually culminates by the nuns moving out of the country and the building being sold to the Ministry of posts and telegraphs, with a real burden: a regular mass should be held in the church, which by...
