Abstract: Reflections on the current situation and prospects of the Czech Roman Catholic Church This study reflects on the current position of the Czech Catholic Church from a historical, fundamental theological, and pastoral theological perspective. It discusses the reputation of Czech society as one of the most secularized in the world and the recent shift of part of the Catholic Church elite toward identitarian anti-liberal political currents. It analyses the impact of the Church’s failure to accept its diaspora situation and the squandering of the potential of the legacy of the so-called hidden Church from the period of communist persecution. Finally, it suggests that the Czech Republic could be used as an experimental territory for the universal Church to test new paths of pastoral care and evangelization.
