Church autonomy in the Czech Republic as an expression of religious freedom and its legal limits
Suchomel, Petr ; Gerloch, Aleš (advisor) ; Řepa, Karel (referee)
The thesis title The church autonomy in the Czech Republic as an expression of freedom of religion and its legal limits ABSTRACT The rigorous thesis deals with the constitutionally guaranteed autonomy of churches and religious societies as one of the essential elements of freedom of religion. It examines what is necessary content of it and seeks the highest permissible limits of its legal restriction in a democratic state governed by the rule of law (in general) and in the Czech Republic (in particular). It represents the autonomy of churches and religious societies as an integral part of religious freedom, which is an inalienable human right and freedom. The general part of the thesis analyzes the content of freedom of religion and the content of church autonomy, trying to define its maximum limits, especially through the development of constitutional law in individual European states (by comparing their constitutions) and through the abundant judicature of the European Court of Human Rights. The special part of the thesis deals with the development of freedom of religion and church autonomy in the territory of the Czech Republic since reception of Austrian law in former Czechoslovakia during the First Republic, through the "period of darkness" under communist totalitarianism to the present day.

The matter of the restitution of the church property after 1989
Karola, Petr ; Kudrna, Jan (advisor) ; Pavlíček, Václav (referee)
The theme of the thesis: ,,The matter of the restitution of the church property after 1989", has been chosen due to the interesting public debate about this topic, which is very interesting, topical, sharp and clearly very controversial. The importance of the issue adds its development, while there are still continually opened new aspects and perspectives of this topic. The topic is significant by ambivalence of opinions, basically a certain helplessness and by the sharp clashes of the different opinions of the professional community. The cause is very simple. It is a problem with very complex historical and legal background. The diploma thesis attempts to uncover the background of the preparation of the restitution process and of the separation of the church and state after the 1989 including their historical background and important constitutional aspects. My goal was to describe a path which led to the enactment of the law about the property settlement with the churches and religious societies in 2012. The intention of this paper is not to cover all aspects of this topic, after all that is impossible in frame of one diploma thesis, but it should provide the reader a formally complex material which clarifies the causes and consequences of the enactment of the Act no. 428/2012 coll., about the...

Land ownership of churches and its particularities
Biznárová, Katarína ; Franková, Martina (advisor) ; Žákovská, Karolina (referee)
Land ownership is specific not only for the unique features of the land but also because it constitutes an extremely important legal institute that affects the existence and functioning of the society. Land ownership is historically inherently connected with the churches and has also been the subject of frequent disputes. The property of churches was also subject to continuous public oversight, which was intensified during the period of the reform of the Josef II, Holy Roman Emperor and subsequently intensified in the course of the 20th century, when numerous limitations of ownership right toward land were made. In this thesis I focus on the specifics of land ownership of churches, their description and historical development. In conclusion of my work I discuss the process of the settlement between Czech state and churches in relation to lands that have been the subject of proprietary wrongdoing and, all on the basis of the long-awaited Act No. 428/2012 Coll., on property settlement with churches and religious societies. Due to my previous work experience at the law firm, where I was able to participate in the assessment of the requests for historically expropriated land and other immovable property applied by authorized persons, I decided to break down the subject matter in my diploma thesis more...
