Synopsis
Excerpt from President of the Czecho-Slovak Republic, Thomas G. Masaryk
But behold, because Masaryk was a religious man, the reigning church stood up against him. In the Catholic papers he was con stantly called a godless individual and a Free Mason, because the church cannot endure anyone who comes with God and Christ and does not come with the Pope and Bishops. Schiinborn, the Archbishop of Prague, hastened to the Emporer Franz Josef with the accusation that Masaryk was undermining religion, advocating suicide and seducing the young. He was not successful, but the efforts to remove Masaryk from Prague did not stop; as is well known, three hundred eight priests, gymnasium instructors of reli gion, brought suit against Masaryk, who came before the law as a disturber of religion.
