Abstract
The text is an attempt to look at the stereotype of a Pole-Catholic from the perspective of Czech media and therefore of Czech culture. The starting point is the analysis of selected press articles devoted to World Youth Day (26-31.07.2016, Cracow), which is supplemented through other texts created in the last several years.
The resulting image is completely different from that observed stereotype, which could mean the beginning of a process to change it. The analyzed texts at the same time questioning the truthfulness of the stereotype of a Czech-atheist.
