The article presents the approach of Catholic journalism towards cultural, social and political issues as can be found in Catholic periodicals from the years 1945‒1948. One of the main characteristics of this approach is its focus on personal human dignity and its connection to the fact of the creation and redemption of the human person. Personal dignity forms an opposition towards the reductive approach of modern ideologies, which are understood as an instrumental construction of humanity leading to the limitation of the uniqueness and richness of human life. The critique of ideology is not anchored in an unambiguous left‑ or right‑wing political orientation. Catholic authors are also critical for the liberal and Marxist vision of social and political life. The way out of ideologized thinking is therefore found in the richness and depth of the religious, Christian tradition.

The aim of the article is to present a critique and a polemic of Czech philosophers in the Thomist tradition with Marxism in the postwar period. A turn to left-wing political practice and thinking throughout Europe in the year following the end of World War II can be observed. "Socialism" was one of the major issues in the public discussion of that time in Czechoslovakia as well. Although the majority of society and its intellectual elites were oriented positively towards socialist and even Marxist ideas, there still existed several centres of critique of these political tendencies. One of the most interesting groups was the Czech Thomist philosophers, e.g. Antonín Čala, Dominik Pecka, Jaroslav Beneš and Miloslav Skácel. They viewed Marxism as not only a political ideology or revolutionary practice, but also as a comprehensive philosophical theory and system. Their critique of Marxism therefore focuses on its ontological and anthropological foundations, demonstrating how Marxism neglects the fundamental dignity of personal human beings.
