The Czechoslovak State Security (StB) and the Vatican: How to Make a Priest and Vatican Diplomat

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The essay highlights the issue of penetration by the Czechoslovak secret police (StB) into Roman church circles. The StB managed to recruit through various methods several priests from Czechoslovakia, and the case study of Karel Simandl operating from Rome showcases peculiar features of recruitment and agent work. Cooperation lasted for 25 years, where the agent reported not just on the Church in Czechoslovakia, but also for instance on the GDR and Hungary. Although Karel Simandl became heavily compromised, after 1990 he held high-ranking positions in the Czech Church before being permanently assigned to the Vatican’s Apostolic Nunciature in Berlin.
