THE ROLE OF FAITH IN A SOCIAL STRUGGLE USING THE EXAMPLE OF THE PASTORAL LETTER OF THE SLOVAK BISHOPS of November 1924

Year, pages: 2019, 839 - 849

The social movement that developed in Slovakia after the end of the Great War succeeded in capturing the left-wing parties - Social Democracy and the Communist Party. In particular, communists in the ideological struggle did not hesitate to use the alleged parallels of communist ideas with Christianity. Thanks to this tactic, they were also successful among religious populations. Therefore, efforts to establish Christian-oriented trade unions in Slovakia were not too successful. Thus, in November 1924, through the Pastoral Letter, the Slovak bishops entered the conflict and watched with concern the rising anticlerical movement in Czechoslovakia.
