Abstract
This study deals with the contacts between the Apostolic Nuncio in Prague and the Czech Catholic milieu during the pontificate of Pope Pius XI (1922â1939). The tensions in the diplomatic relationships between Czechoslovakia and the Vatican reflect the dynamics of the political-religious relationships in Central Europe and the frequent conflicts that accompanied the actions of both sides. The study is primarily based on materials from the Vatican Apostolic Archives in Rome, the Austrian State Archives in Vienna, the Political Archives of the Foreign Office in Berlin, the Masaryk Archives in Prague and the archives of the Foreign Office of the Czech Republic, also in Prague. At the heart of the investigation are the Apostolic Nuncios in Prague, Clemente Micara, Francesco Marmaggi, Pietro Ciriaci and Saverio Ritter The dramatic end of their diplomatic mission affected the mutual relationship between the Vatican and Czechoslovakia and also had an effect on the political and religious milieu in the first Czech Republic.
