Summary/Abstract: An article based on the manuscript of the Cistercian monastery in Vyšší Brod presents a treatise of an unknown member of this South Bohemian community from the end of the 14th century. In the treatise beginning with the words Alma mater ecclesia the Cistercian from Vyšší Brod expressed negative influence of the papal schism on the medieval Church and accused the originator of this condition, the antipope Clement VII. The contents of the treatise made it possible to discuss some of the current problems in the Czech setting caused by the papal schism.
