This document provides a critical reflection on the attacks launched by Bohumil Doležal and Emanuel Mandler against the prominent Czech theologian Josef Lukl Hromádka. The author responds to Doležal’s polemical text published in Lidové noviny, which continues an ongoing debate with Jan Šimsa. The primary focus of the reflection is an attempt to understand the underlying motives behind these persistent attacks on a figure who had been deceased for thirty years at the time of writing. The author questions why the critics chose to intensify their efforts precisely during the period marking both the 30th anniversary of Hromádka's death and the 110th anniversary of his birth. The text suggests that these aggressive critiques might be intended to intimidate those who wish to remember Hromádka’s legacy in a positive light or acknowledge his contributions. Ultimately, the entry expresses concern regarding the nature and timing of this discrediting campaign, suggesting a need to investigate the true reasons behind such behavior within the context of the Czech intellectual and public discourse in late 1990s.
