| Résumé: | In my view, it is questionable to link the Prague Spring events with other uprisings of 1953 or 1956. This was really the result of a long drawn out process demanding a renewal of the whole society together with its political representation. Even though at the time, the suspicion was rife that the whole affair was no more than an internal party discussion, nonetheless the entire society set its hopes on a real improvement. The Church believed that the idea of a democratic Communism would in fact fulfill the best traditions of the Czech people. This consciousness of there being a continuity led on the one side to a certain sobriety of expectations, but also to a consciousness of a special responsibility. The Church was not concerned as to how it could seize power, but rather how it could best serve the people. The forcible repression of the uprising and the renewal attempts did not therefore lead to resignation but rather to a renewed confidence that sooner or later the truth would prevail, even without arms, since this was in reality the truth of Christ himself. |
