Frantisek X. Halas on T. G. Masaryk's Relationship to the Roman Catholic Church
Frantisek X. Halas in his historical work was also concerned with the person of T. G. Masaryk, in particular in his most extensive publication The Phenomenon of the Vatican. It analyses the struggle over the sense of Czech history between Masaryk and Pekar and explores in general Masaryk's views on the religious question. The greatest attention is paid to Masaryk's views of the Roman Catholic Church, both before the World War as well in the foreign resistance even at the time of his time in office as President. His interpretation of Masaryk's views is objective and understandably critical in a number of cases. It describes very well the reasons behind Masaryk's particular positions.
