Abstract

The study presents a controversy among Czech Catholics, culminating in 1947. It explains the interpersonal and intellectual dynamics of post­-war Catholicism and demonstrates how the so­-called campaign against Catholic writers unfolded the debate on the basic tone of modern Catholicism, i.e. its relationship to the contemporary world, about how believers are to communicate with contemporary society, and about the need to revise this approach. The controversy was led by a reflection on turnovers: integral Catholicism, integral Catholic, religious rightist and leftist. Its main protagonists were Adolf Kajpr SJ, Timotheus Vodička, and Jindřich Středa (Karel František Schwarzenberg).
