Abstract
The article deals with the passage of the book Church History written in Czech by Radomír Malý. In the passage the murder of Hypatia is wrongly maintained the only case of Christian violence towards pagans brought about by their very paganism.
Without any analysis and often misinterpreted other famous affairs of the conflict between Christianity and paganism are arbitrarily claimed to prove the Christians not to have revenged the persecution of the first three centuries of our era by any subsequent persecution of pagans. According to Radomír Malý the 'basic' religious freedom of pagans should have been observed in the christianized Roman Empire.
In the article the arguments of recent debate over these affairs are set forth and the non-existence of the scholarly consensus corresponding to the view of Radomír Malý in any of them, even that of Hypatia, is stressed. In order to prove the assertion of Radomír Malý altogether untenable, other cases of Christian violence against pagans are referred to.
