At the time it appeared the ruling had brought to an end a prolonged legal battle between the Church and state. More than 50 years after St Vitus was confiscated under the communists, it was returned to the Church. But its renewed ownership didn't last long: on Friday the Supreme Court annulled all earlier rulings, returning the cathedral to the state and the legal case to square one. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/svaty_vit3.jpg?timestamp=1591431419 Supreme Court overturns earlier rulings, returns famous cathedral to state https://english.radio.cz/supreme-court-overturns-earlier-rulings-returns-famous-cathedral-state-8610715 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
