Summary/Abstract: In January 2021 it will be one hundred years from the birth of one of the 20th century’s most remarkable church representatives in Moravia. With his unconventional thinking and even more so through his actions, Felix M. Davídek influenced several generations of Catholics. Ordaining women was perhaps his most radical act. This is also one of the reasons why he is still seen as a very controversial figure by the church as well as contemporary witnesses.
