Kateřina Šumníková Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Social Sciences, Institute of International Relations, department of German and Austrian studies, field of German and Central European studies Diploma thesis: The image of the pontificate of John Paul II. in Federal Republic of Germany ABSTRACT Pope John Paul II. had indisputable importance not only for the church in Central and Eastern Europe, but also for social change in Eastern Europe.

The diploma thesis conducts a survey of the exact causes of the distance to his personality as well as the factors of not adoring perception in the Federal Republic of Germany. Part of the work deals with the quantitative media analysis, which provides a media image of John Paul II. in selected periodicals in connection to the announcement of Pope's canonization (July 5, 2014) and subsequent canonization (April 27, 2014).

Message and media reflection of visits of two Popes in Czechoslovak Federal Republic and Czech Republic in the light of their public speeches: John Pavel II. - 1990,1995,1997 a Benedikt XVI - 2009
Krupa, Adam ; Lovaš, Karol (advisor) ; Knapík, Jiří (referee)
The Pope's visits are important social, political, and media events. The pope always comes to the host country with a predetermined agenda, not unlike the one for state visits by politicians. The Pope's speeches are at the center of the public part of the agenda. This thesis aims to analyze the messages that the two popes presented to the nation and the world during their visits to Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic. And also how the media captured, interpreted, and brought these messages to their audiences. The results show that the popes emphasized several topics, from spiritual renewal, return to tradition, reorganization of the Church to the commemoration of Christianity as the basis of European culture. However, the media largely ignored these frames, because even the use of frames does not guarantee preferred decoding. The analysis of selected newspapers showed that the papal messages were spread the best in Lidové noviny, a paper focused on strong opinion texts. This is all the more surprising because Lidové noviny was built on the traditional anti-Catholic tradition. The narrowly focused Catholic weekly did not spread the message to such an extent. In the case of the mainstream Mladá fronta Dnes, the form of the visit prevailed over the content, and the main role was played by the...

The Attitude of Roman-Catholic Church towards Delors' initiative "Heart and Soul for Europe"
Kubiš, Vojtěch ; Matějka, Ondřej (advisor) ; Kunštát, Miroslav (referee)
Aim of this thesis is to analyse causes of reserved stance of the Roman Catholic Church towards Delors' initiative Heart and Soul for Europe. Research comes out from initial presumption that engagement of the Chuch in the initiative could be beneficial for Her. With respect to John Paul's II appeal to Western secularised society to return back to its Christian roots, Pope could have perceived Delors' initiative as an appropriate opportunity how to promote Catholic teaching in European policies. However, the Roman Catholic Church has not officially joined the initiative which was due to two reasons: Firstly, Pope strongly adhered to the principle of separation spiritual issues from European policies. Spiritual issues should be administered by the Church, not European institutions. Secondly, for the Catholic Church, Delors' initiative was also problematic from the perspective of the set-up of the dialogue. The dialogue was grounded on multi-level meetings (both within national and supranational bodies) based on wide consensus-seeking debate. Such way of dialogue was hard to embrace by the Catholic Church, which worked more authoritatively within its hierarchical structure. Therefore, it would be very complicated for the Church to adapt on such form of dialogue and effectively promote its teaching....

The evangelization in concept of the last popes
Bouška, Jaroslav ; Dřímal, Ludvík (advisor) ; Opatrný, Aleš (referee)
Evangelization is the most important mission and responsibility of the Church and the main characteristic of her very existence. The church evangelizes because it is her duty to proclaim and to testify for the Gospel. The new evangelization is necessary most of all in such places where the Christian tradition has lost its living sense of faith, where people have lost their feeling of being members of the Church, or they have retreated from Jesus Christ. This topic has proved to be very important and pressing. Since the times of the Second Vatican Council, the Popes, namely Paul VI, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis, have been expressing their opinions on this subject. They have been searching for new language, new ways, new forms of evangelization. This thesis aims to show that there is a noticeable development of approaches of individual pontiffs to evangelization. Keywords The new evangelization; The evangelization; John Paul II.; Benedikt XVI.; Francis; The church.
