Praibišová, Eva ; Matějka, Ondřej (advisor) ; Menclová, Barbora (referee)
In the context of secularization and the shaping of church-state relations in Italy, this diploma thesis deals with the legalization of divorce and referendum on its abolition in 1974. The aim of the thesis is to observe whether, in the debate on divorce, symptoms of secularization in Italy can be traced. Methodologically, this work is grounded in qualitative content analysis. The sources of this thesis are the journals of the three most prominent political parties of the period under study: the Communists (journal L'Unità), the Socialists (journal Avanti!) and the Christian Democrats (journal Il Popolo). The aim is to identify the thematic units, so-called topoi, within the selected articles, by applying the above-mentioned method. Selected topoi are subsequently subjected to analysis. In particular, the results of the analysis showed different conceptions of reality of the political parties. Thus, leading to the formation of two opposite camps during the referendum. On one hand, Christian Democrats, who based their conception mainly on the traditional Christian doctrine. And on the other hand, the Communists together with the Socialists, who defended the secular, pluralistic concept of state. The analysis shows that the so-called secularization currents can, to some extent, be traced in the...

CHARLES UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES Institute of International Studies Paul-Henri Perrain Orthodoxy, Politics, and Kirillism: Reassessment of Post-Soviet Church-State Symphonia in Patriarch Kirill's Russia Thesis Abstract Prague 2022 Author: Bc. Paul-Henri Perrain Supervisor: Doc. Adrian Brisku, Ph.D. Academic Year: 2021/2022 Abstract While the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) occupies a preponderant place in Russian cultural identity, its position as an institution has undergone great changes throughout history. Sometimes under the rule of the tsars, sometimes independent, sometimes marginalised, the ROC is now back in the aftermath of the fall of communism. In this new officially secular state, the Church has managed to restore close ties with the main political authorities of the country and benefits from the proximity and entanglement of the spiritual and temporal powers to defend its own interests. The involvement of the Church in the Russian public sphere is all the more evident since the election of Kirill in 2009 as Patriarch. The principle of symphonia which postulates the independence of the two powers and which should guide Church-State relations after 1991 seems...
