Catholic Church launches St. Vitus ownership challenge

The Catholic Church has lodged a complaint over the Supreme Court’s March decision that the state is the rightful owner of Prague’s St. Vitus’ Cathedral. The complaint alleges that the procedures leading to the decision were unfair. The move is the latest round in a long-running legal battle between church and state over the famous landmark. Prague’s cathedral, which is both a religious symbol and an historic symbol of the Czech kingdom and state, is the most visited cathedral in the country and home of the Czech crown jewels.
