| Description | In the period of the First Republic, the journalist Alfred Fuchs stood, as he stated of himself, between two sides – as a Christian he was close to the Catholic Church, but at the same time his views were those of the so-called Castle and he put himself at the service of the state press. His straddling of the two conflicting sides was particularly evident in his reflections on the connection between political views and religious convictions. This paper analyses Fuchs’s defence of democracy from the position of a Catholic intellectual and his efforts to find harmony between the two sides. |
