This paper is concerned with the Catholic priest Dominik Pecka and focuses on his contributions to education and his successful efforts to intertwine educational aims with the priestly vocation in the context of the so-called spiritual renewal of Czech Catholicism in the 1930s. Furthermore, the study presents important aspects of research into changes of priestly identity in the Czech Catholic milieu in the years 1890–1938. Several examples of reactions to the crisis of identity in the priesthood are highlighted. In addition, references are made to various approaches to the priestly vocation in order to better understand this topic within the said historical period. The paper also aims towards a deeper understanding of Dominik Pecka’s decision to stress the educational dimension of his pastoral work, as well as of specific situations that forced priests to reconsider their role in a modern secular society.

The anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 brought a plethora of articles, books, radio and television programmes, professional and popularizing events, profane and religious meetings. It is impossible not to ask a question why this particular anniversary was and still is remembered by such a powerful polyphony; in fact whether a certain historicizing of our consciousness, the causes of which are worth researching, is not a “sign of our time”. After a short introduction into the theoretical frame of the problem, the authors research this issue on the following levels: European discussion and its responses within the Czech environment (novel Náměsíčníci / The Sleepwalkers); new Czech interpretations and the breach of “taboo subjects” (thinking and acts of Tomáš Garrique Masaryk); return of “old Austria” with its institutions into public discussions (Jiří Rak phenomenon); activation of the wide public by means of events, including the religious ones; formation of new collective identities. In the conclusion, the authors express a thesis about the interconnection of historiographic, media and political production as well as about a real shift in the historical memory of the Czech public in view of the Habsburg Empire history.
