This bachelor thesis analyses the second life of the church anti-Nazi resistance, including its persecution as reflected in the selected Catholic-oriented press of the third Czechoslovak republic, i.e. in the years 1945-1948, especially in the magazines Katolík and Obzory. The first two chapters are devoted to the contemporary context and the press under study, and the most comprehensive chapter gives an overview of the second life of the church resistance in six subchapters, according to the object of commemoration. The thesis draws on selected contemporary national and regional press and secondary literature on church resistance and persecution during the Second World War and on the third Czechoslovak republic. On the basis of a thorough analysis of contemporary texts, the aim of this thesis is to describe the immediate second life of the church resistance with regard to its political use.

The mutual elements of the vatican and american foreign policy after the second world war
Fuchsová, Anežka ; Suchánek, Drahomír (advisor) ; Horčička, Václav (referee)
The victory of Christian democrats in the parliamentary election of 1948 in Italy was made possible by a cooperation between the Holy See and United States during the pre-election campaign. The thesis presents the outcome of research done on American, but especially on Vatican foreign policy. The foreign policy of Pius XII between 1945 and 1950 had three main features. They were support for European integration, relations with certain European states and fight against communism. A stand of the Holy See on these issues is compared to the American one. The outcome of the analysis is that their foreign policies had some aims in common but that it hardly ever led to cooperation. There were some minor examples of cooperation, but there was none as significant as the one in Italy in 1948. Key words: Holy See, Pius XII, foreign policy, USA, communism, integration
