Summary/Abstract: In this scientific study the author refers to the chapter from the history of the relationship between state and church in the period from 1969 to 1989. Th e period of political easing in 1968, called “Prague Spring“, is followed, aft er the invasion of the troops of the Warsaw Pact to our territory, by the return of political relations before 1968. Th is change of the political situation was reflected in the relationship to the Catholic Church, too. Th e state tried to take control of the church, even with the help of the collaborating members of the church itself, who were united in an organisation. To survey the history of this organisation in South Bohemia the author uses archive materials not published so far.
