Summary/Abstract: The main aim of the thesis is the typology of conflicts between the Greek Catholic and Orthodox Church during normalization. After the restoration of Catholic Church´s Byzantine Rite in 1968, the compromise between Greek Catholic and Orthodox Church did not come respectively an agreement on the division of assets, their property and legal relations got worse or even more. These relations resulted mainly in local conflicts that could be broadly classified according to the nature as the violent and non-violent. The first group were mainly incidents that started first with verbal insults, later grew into a disturbing personal domicile, and in some cases have resulted in bodily injury or even death. The second group included contradictions rather of peaceful nature (political and personal character). We dare to say that the contribution as the first of its kind focuses on the religious conflicts which are even more classified by nature. Novelty in this case is probing into the typology of conflict between the various confessions from the sixties to the nineties of 20th century.
