Association of Catholic Clergy Pacem in Terris (Czech: ''Sdružení katolických duchovních Pacem in terris'', Slovak: ''Združenie katolíckych duchovných Pacem in terris''), abbreviated SKD PiT or simply PiT, was a regime-sponsored organisation of Catholic clergy in Communist Czechoslovakia between 1971 and 1989. Its name was taken from the well-known encyclical '' Pacem in terris'' of the reform Pope John XXIII. SKD PiT was registered on August 1, 1971, and its stated purposes were 'peace in the world' and 'friendship between nations'. But in fact its ''raison d'être'' was rather to control and spy on the clergy and influence the life of the whole church. Its founding assembly was held in Prague on August 31, 1971.

The situation changed slowly after the new Pope J ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
