The communist state power applied a policy of gradual persecution of the catholic church in South-Bohemian region. It attacked the hierarchy and religious orders in the firs stage, but pretended to be friendly towards the laymen while trying to set them against the church leadership. It was not until later on, that also the laymen started to be persecuted.

The ninth bishop of České Budějovice, Josef Hlouch, undoubtedly ranks among the most renowned personalities of both the spiritual and religious life of the South Bohemian region. We commemorate the 110th jubilee of his birth and the 40th jubilee of his death in 2012. This year has been declared ‘the year of Bishop Hlouch’ by the South Bohemian diocese. What do we already know about Bishop Hlouch and what don’t we? Thus far, two concise monographs, a few brief entries in encyclopedias, several studies, memoirs, popular articles and both television and radio programmes has been created. It is apparent, however, that a number of events from his life are still hidden in archive documents. This study therefore aims at both summarizing the existing results of research on the life and work of Bishop Josef Hlouch and suggesting resources for further possible research on his life.

The study elaborates on the relationship between the government and churches during the times of communist civil rights suppression. Since numerous articles have been written about repressive elements of the state and about the lives of party leaders and churches, this study aims to touch on this topic from a regional perspective. Researching by means of a probe into South Bohemian archive documents, the study describes both job descriptions of township church secretaries and the success in doing so, possibly even their will to fulfill their goals. The study provides illustrations both from the evaluation of these state employees (made by their supervisors or by the Czech communist government) and from their, often vain, complaints for greater material or party support.
