Eucharist reverence in the work of art of Darina Gladišová
Zoričák, Ján ; Pučalík, Marek (referee)
The thesis entitled Respect for the Eucharist in the work of Darina Gladišová is a contribution to a deeper knowledge of the reasons for the importance of the Eucharist and respect for it in the Catholic Church. The work of contemporary Slovak academic painter Darina Gladišová is characterized by a Christian theme with a dominant accent on the Eucharist. Among the works with the theme of the Eucharist stands out a cycle of six large paintings called Corpus Christi - the Body of Christ, which was created in 2003 - 2010. The cycle is installed in the refectory of the Franciscan Monastery in Bratislava, Slovakia. The thesis presents the above-mentioned images of the Corpus Christi cycle and theologically interprets them through the bibliography of St. John Paul II. and Franciscan springs. The method of interpretation was chosen on the basis of literary sources about the life and work of the painter, but mainly on personal interviews of the rigorous thesis' author with Darina Gladišová, in which he names the mentioned sources of inspiration. Thoughts concerning the Eucharist are the key throughout of the rigorous thesis.

This bachelor thesis, " An Apostolic See in a Service of the Unity of the Church", looks into a significance of the Apostolic See, which represents the highest legislative, executive and judicial power within the Church.

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.
