metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Thanks to the opening of the Vatican archives concerning the pontificate of Pius XII,
  it is possible to shed light on how between 1947 and 1949 the Secretariat of State of
  the Holy See faced with the crisis between the Communist government of Czechoslovakia
  and the Catholic Church. In the context of secularisation after the Second
  World War, the Catholic Church in Czechoslovakia faced a wave of anti-religious
  persecution by members of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, which gradually
  gained prestige in society from 1946 up to the events of February 1948 (the
  so-called “Victorious February”) when the Communists assumed leading positions
  in the political system of the country. This study, based on archival data, provides
  an insight into the following aspects of these critical years: a deeper understanding
  of the chronological links of events; the reasons and aims of the modi operandi of
  the Vatican and the local episcopate; the bilateral relations between the Secretariat
  of State of the Holy See and the bishops of Czechoslovakia and their interaction
  in opposing the anti-church policies of the state; the reasons why the number of
  adherence to the so-called “Catholic Action” movement was much lower than that
  expected of the Communist Party in Czechoslovakia; Pius XII’s closeness to the
  Catholic clergy and believers in Czechoslovakia.
