Description
Summary:The article presents first the dramatic religious and theological evolution of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church, founded in 1920 by catholic priests. It states that the concept of the sacramentality of marriage in the above mentioned Church proceeds from the Catholic tradition of the early 20th century and it is affected by the more less protestant ecclesiology adopted by the Czechoslovak Church. Based on official documents of the Church it presents the actual exigencies for celebration of a sacramental marriage in the Church. On the other hand, it shows, that some aspects of the concept, namely the question of sacramentality of "half-Christian marriages", the question of sacramentality of marriages closed by the civil form and the connection between sacramentality and indissolubility of marriage, especially of remarried divorced members, are not clearly elaborated and that there the common practice is ahead of theory rather often.
