abstract
This article aims to analyze and synthesize the knowledge pertaining to the various aspects of the relationship between the Catholic Church and the Czechoslovak Republic, particularly focusing on their influence on the negotiation, content, and implementation of the Modus vivendi. The paper primarily delves into the circles associated with the diplomatic relations between the Czechoslovak Republic and the Holy See. It also addresses the transfer of privileges from the former Monarchy to the newly established Czechoslovak Republic. Additionally, the article explores certain aspects of the confessional legal legislation of the Czechoslovak Republic during the period preceding the negotiation of the Modus vivendi, specifically from 1918 to 1928.
