The political influence of British Catholics in First World War Britain has been a neglected aspect of British history. This thesis aims to address this deficiency by focusing precisely on the political role played by leading Roman Catholics in Britain during the conflict. This work concentrates on leading Catholic clergy, laymen and the British Catholic press. It demonstrates that the majority of leading Catholics were guided by an excessive nationalism which had two consequences. Firstly, British Catholics supported the war effort and the British government almost unquestionably. Secondly, most leading Catholics failed to give their full support to the Pope and repudiated his efforts to facilitate a negotiated peace. The thesis is based upon research into a wide array of primary material located in archives in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It depends heavily on the private correspondence of the Catholic hierarchy and leading Catholic politicians and publicists. In addition, it includes a survey of the Catholic press of the period, since it manifested the relationship between the leading Catholic clergy and laity, and the rest of British society. / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Ryšiai su visuomene tampa neatsiejama verslo organizacijų dalimi, tačiau ne pelno organizacijoms, kartu ir religinėms, taip pat būtina juos taikyti savo veikloje. Lietuvoje kokybiški ryšiai su visuomene dar neturi gilių tradicijų, ypač paslaugų ir nevyriausybinių organizatorių sektoriuose. Lietuvos Katalikų Bažnyčia sekuliarėjančioje visuomenėje sunkiai atranda ryšį su visuomene. Kokybiška komunikacija yra vienas iš būdų, galinčių išspręsti šią problemą. Pasaulinė Katalikų Bažnyčia jau prieš kelis dešimtmečius suprato komunikacijos svarbą ir ėmėsi formuoti ryšių su visuomene politiką. Tam išleisti keli svarbūs, formuojamos ryšių su visuomene institucijos. Lietuvos Katalikų Bažnyčia dar tik pradeda kuruoti šią sritį, todėl apie aukštus pasiekimus dar anksti kalbėti. Darbe išanalizuotos pagrindines Lietuvos Katalikų Bažnyčios komunikacines veiklas. Analizės rezultatai parodė, kad Lietuvos Katalikų Bažnyčia ryšius su visuomene vykdo dviejuose lygmenyse – nacionaliniame ir parapijos. Tačiau nė vienas iš jų dar nėra deramai kuruojamas. Didžiausia problema yra tai, kad vis dar nesuformuotas nacionalinis pastoracinis komunikacijos planas, todėl ši veikla vykdoma padrikai ir nenuosekliai. Norėdama tapti paveikia šiandieninės visuomenės dalimi Lietuvos Katalikų Bažnyčia turi reorganizuoti dabartines intencijas ir sutelkti dėmesį į jų novatoriškumą ir efektyvumą. / Although communication is a method, which is most widely used by business organizations, public, political and even religious organizations apply it as well. Lithuania still feels the lack of public relations knowledge, especially in service companies or organizations not connected with profit-making. The Catholic Church of Lithuania encounters quite a lot of problems, which might be solved applying the knowledge of communication and public relations. Although Roman Catholic Church has already formed basics of communication policy by announcing several decrees concerning this field, it is still estimated too insufficiently in Lithuania. Therefore, the Catholic Church of Lithuania is starting to realize necessity of communication in today’s secular society. I have carried out the analysis of the public relations activities of the Catholic Church of Lithuania. The results of the analysis showed that there are two main levels of public communication in Lithuania – the national one and the congregational one, but none of them is carried proper. The Catholic Church of Lithuania has to form individual pastoral plan of communication and reorganize existing implements – make them more innovative and effective in order to reach audience and do an impact on it.
