Summary/Abstract: The study approaches the problematic situation in relations between Czechoslovakia and the Holy See from February 1948, when the communists took full power into their hands until spring 1950, when our diplomatic mission to the Holy See was liquidated. The main aim is to use the archive sources of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to clarify the role in this process of the Slovak diplomat Ilja Rath, who was entrusted with the leadership of this diplomatic mission in March 1949. A different picture of this diplomat to that previously presented in the expert literature is given on the basis of a series of hitherto unpublished documents.
