The mutual interaction of political and religious (church) power plays a significant role in the development of every society along with the territories associated with each given society. Church-state relationships have undergone numerous changes, depending on the type of political power being wielded and the various types of religion involved.

Property settlement between the state and the churches along with its impacts on regional development remains outside of the interest of mainstream media and, consequently, outside of the public interest as well. In spite of the fact that it is one of the more significant processes taking place as part of the post-totalitarian transformation of Czech society and its position as a visible indicator of Czechia's ability to come to terms with its own past; resolving this sticky situation is only becoming more complicated with the passage of time, particularly considering the spiritual development of Czech society.
