My work concerns itself with the history of the Roman Catholic parish in Borovany during the years 1900 - 1953. It provides an overview of events during that period, specifically those influenced by the political changes in our country. The first five chapters are devoted to those historical moments in the first half of the 20th century. The last two chapters discuss the customs and personalities of the parish which were characteristic of that period. The interaction of these components gives my work its principal character.

Current society is much diversified as regards its culture of customs and trends encountered also in the eating habits of people. Our health-care facilities provide treatment to a good number of patients of different religions and, consequently, different eating habits. We certainly do not want the patients to be only passive recipients of medical care. That is why the nurses have to put some effort into learning about the individual eating habits of their patients. A nurse informed about food that a patient wishes or does not wish to be given is able to use her own initiative in providing what is needed to satisfy the requirements. In this way the nurse will involve the patients in the treatment and boost their confidence in the health-care staff. The theoretical section investigates primarily nutritional habits of believers of some selected religions, namely Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Roman Catholic Church and Brethren Church. Other parts of the theoretical section analyzed some alternative nutritional trends. Also mentioned was food provision at health-care facilities and the competences of nutrition therapeutists and assistants. The empirical section formulated four objectives: (1) to specify the main features of nutritional trends met in the selected religions; (2) to measure the level of nurses' expertise in the eating habits associated with the selected religions; (3) to find out whether the nurses in providing the care respect the clients' nutritional trends as related to the selected religions; and (4) to investigate the importance and observance of specific nutritional trends in the selected religions as perceived by the clients and the nurses. The methodology relied on a quality-oriented survey performed through controlled interviews with the clients, and a quantity-oriented survey conducted through questionnaires distributed among clients and nurses. The qualitative survey was to answer these questions: What eating habits can be encountered in clients professing the selected religions? Does proper observation of the clients' eating habits make the clients satisfied with the nursing care? The quantitative survey was based on assumptions that (1) nurses ignorant of the nutritional trends will make the clients unhappy about the nursing care, and that (2) proper attention paid to varied eating habits in different cultures will make the job of nursing teams in health-care facilities a more burdensome task. The survey has been conducted in the regions of South Bohemia and Central Bohemia. Judging from the results, the objectives have been met, the hypotheses confirmed, and the research questions objectivized. The work resulted in an Education Sheet to be used by both nurses and the public.

The aim of this thesis is to describe the development of register records in Bohemia by comparing the recent records in registry books with those issuing from the oldest registry books. It also shows the importance of the register records today and in the past, as well as the changes of these specifications and data through out the centuries. The importance of this thesis is to highlight the fact that the records in the registry books were originally determined to be registers of received sacraments arising from the clerical regulations issued by the Roman Catholic Church. The Trident Council instructed to keep registers of christening and marriages. But the implementation into practise of these registers took longer than it was expected. The register agenda in the Czech lands was not uniform until the 18th century. The proper integration of the register agenda was stated after this period on the basis of state regulations. The Roman Catholic Church contributed actively to the origin of keeping such an agenda and was also entitled and entrusted to supervise the register record of all other Churches.

This municipality of the far North Goias had its Catholic religious formation different from the usual. In Novo Planalto, the Brazilian Apostolic Catholic Church, a dissident and emancipated Catholicism of Rome, exerted, between 1966 and the mid-1980, the dominion of faith. Characterized by the prominent prestige of Bishop Dom Araújo Ribeiro with the local population, the temple of the Brazilian Catholic Church was built where it is the central square ― an event that generated a dispute over the space of faith with the traditional Roman Church. To make sense of this context, we resorted to the memory of some pioneers, residents of Novo Planalto, to make this history, that is, oral history was the methodology chosen to understand the social formation of this community. We present, preliminary, a historical cut of the contestation of the universalism of Catholicism that culminated in the founding of a national Catholic Church. We understand that religiosity has a practical relationship with social, cultural composition and the feeling of belonging to a given social body. Thus, the work proposes to compose, from testimonies of former residents and pioneers, the history of tensions between the two strands of Catholicism as special substance in the composition of the Novoplanaltense community. / Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender o fenômeno singular dos catolicismos na cidade de Novo Planalto. Esse município do extremo norte goiano teve sua formação religiosa católica diferente da habitual. Em Novo Planalto, a Igreja Católica Apostólica Brasileira, um catolicismo dissidente e emancipado de Roma, exerceu, entre 1966 e meados da década de 1980, o domínio da fé. Caracterizada pelo prestígio proeminente do bispo Dom Waldemir Araújo Ribeiro junto à população local, o templo da Igreja Católica Brasileira foi construído onde é a praça central ― acontecimento que gerou disputa pelo espaço da fé com a tradicional Igreja Romana. Para dar sentido a esse contexto, recorremos à memória de alguns pioneiros, moradores de Novo Planalto, para perfazer essa história, isto é, a história oral foi a metodologia escolhida para compreender a formação social dessa comunidade. Apresentamos, preliminarmente, um recorte histórico da contestação do universalismo do catolicismo que culminou na fundação de uma Igreja católica nacional. Entendemos que a religiosidade tem relação prática com a composição social, cultural e com o sentimento de pertencimento de um dado corpo social. Desse modo, o trabalho propõe compor, a partir de testemunhos de antigos moradores e pioneiros, a história das tensões entre as duas catolicidades como substância especial na composição da comunidade novoplanaltense.

Objetivou-se analisar a medida da interferência do padroado ¿ instituição reguladora das relações Igreja e Estado no período moderno ¿ no quadro das autonomias episcopais ultramarinas. Partindo dos episcopados de D. Fr. Manuel da Ressurreição (1771 a 1789) e D. Matheus de Abreu Pereira (1795 a 1824), investigamos as relações que estabeleceram nesse período com os governadores da capitania de São Paulo, estes os principais responsáveis por assegurar que no âmbito local se praticasse o padroado. Outrossim, as relações político-administrativas dos bispos com o Reino, sede do poder real, foram mapeadas por meio da instituição régia responsável pela administração do Ultramar, o Conselho Ultramarino. Através desse estudo pretende-se tornar cada vez mais visível o papel do episcopado nos quadros da administração ultramarina portuguesa, trazendo à tona a importância desse segmento eclesiástico para a manutenção do poder monárquico nos domínios coloniais / Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to study the relationship of the two last bishops of the colonial São Paulo with the secular power inside the captaincy, observing the episcopal power in the dynamics of local authorities, and in the broader space of their administrative relationship toward the Kingdom, administrative centre of Portuguese empire. One had as goal to analyze the patronage's interference measure ¿ regulatory institution of the relationship between the Church and the State in the modern period ¿ in the structure of the overseas episcopal autonomies. Starting from the episcopacy of D. Fr. Manuel da Ressurreição (from 1771 to 1789) and D. Matheus de Abreu Pereira (from 1795 to 1824), we have investigated the relationship which were established in this period with the governors of the São Paulo captaincy, who were the main responsible for ensuring that locally would be practiced the patronage. Furthermore, the political and administrative relationship of the bishops with the Kingdom, headquarter of the royal power, were mapped by means of the regal institution responsible for the Overseas administration, the Overseas' Council. By means of this study, one intends to become increasingly visible the episcopate's role in the structures of the Portuguese overseas administration, bringing out the importance of this ecclesiastical segment for the maintenance of monarchical power in colonial domains / Doutorado / Politica, Memoria e Cidade / Doutora em História

This dissertation rediscovers the great impact of patriotic sentiment in the period after the World war I (and after World war II) which, along with charismatic personae of Antonin Koula and the first patriarch Karel Farský, had fundamental significance for the foundation of the great Religious community of Czechoslovak Hussite Church in Tman. Thanks to the vicar Antonín Koula the Church has expanded to surrounding towns and villages. This is apparent from the annals from which I have drawn most information. Analyzing these sources (Tman annals, Catholic annals, Czechoslovak Hussite Church annals), along with academic literature one may form an objective idea of the times studied. Partial overcoming of conflicts between Catholic and Czechoslovak Church, by means of state interference, led to the incentive to build new buildings of new architecture type typical for Czechoslovak Hussite Church. Work on this dissertation has given me many incentives for the future renovation of this community. The next output should be a deeper analysis of history and making this information more accessible to people whose ancestors built the local community. At the moment nonreligious aspects are more acceptable and interesting. Next task is to engage the public, especially children, in the church activities...

Due to the lack of comparative studies referring to so-called values among the Jewish and Christian faith, the following study examines various interpretations of the Decalogue in the Hebrew Bible. These expositions originate from the Roman Catholic, Jewish and Reformed Evangelical tradition. Since the Ten Commandments have been considered influential in several traditions, this study attempts to identify their authority, purpose and status based on the writings of three different theologians. The analysis does not take the whole tradition itself into account, but seeks to discover diverse perspectives, in order to promote a nuanced result. Hence, the results neither speak for the entire denomination nor its believers. Furthermore, the approach of the study is an analysis of ideas, a commonly used method regarding statements of all kind, principally political and religious commentaries. The method endeavors to describe in order to supply further information not explicitly mentioned by the material itself. Thus, the analysis proceeds from theoretical perspectives such as the Euthyphro dialogue, Biblical hermeneutics and covenant. The theologians agree that morality originates from God because of God’s will. Yet there is disagreement regarding its purpose among all three authors. The Roman Catholic and Jewish author emphasize the covenant as a reason to honor the Ten Commandments and have a liberal approach combined with a historical-critical perspective of the Bible, whereas the Reformed Evangelical author expresses a conservative view, equating the Bible with the actual word of God. The Decalogue enjoys a higher status among the Christian authors, although the Roman Catholic author values the Golden Rule significantly more. The issue regarding whether the Decalogue ought to be treated as being above every other law remains unclear based on the material, but is highly more focused than other commandments in the Hebrew Bible. Definitively the study identifies uniting differences from a wide range of beliefs in the theological area.
