Vyrovnávání se s myšlenkovým a životním odkazem Bonaventury Bouše

The author of this paper presents a critical study of an extensive book of Vojtěch Novotny, dedicated to the life and work of Bonaventura Bouše (1918–2002). This Franciscan priest played an important part in the life of the Catholic Church in Czechoslovakia especially in the tough years of the Communist persecution. His intellectual heritage is so provoking that the author, apart from presenting and assessing the studied book, searches for the ways to cope with this intellectual legacy of B. Bouše
