Pošteková, Gabriela

The present study deals with the founding of Katolícka jednota žien and the association’s magazine, Katolícka jednota, which was created as a response to the rise of socialism and the spread of secular and feminist ideas in Slovakia in the early 1920s. The magazine was intended to serve as an intellectual resource for Catholic women, representing an alternative to secular feminism.

Preparation for the afterlife of the Hungarian nobility according to the preserved medieval testaments

Tihányiová, Monika

The current study is devoted to the efforts of the medieval Hungarian nobility to ensure a peaceful afterlife for themselves and their families. This was hoped to be achieved through donations to the church and religious orders serving in the area. The paper begins with a brief focused on donations to the church that members of the nobility made during their lives and the actions they expected from the church or individual clergymen in return for such pious contributions.

They were in violation of the canon law of the Catholic Church and the Protestant side in disadvantage in terms of the religious education of children.
