AB The aim of the paper is to critically evaluate confessional apology and interpretation of reformation tradition of the Jesuit Konrád Maria Kubeš (1890-1967) on the basis of sources, which Kubeš used for his apology and his own published book and journal texts. Furthermore, it describes Kubeš's family background, education, life and professional conditions in interwar Czechoslovakia. The article primarily analyzed Kubeš's opinions and attitudes to main issues of reformation tradition - Bohemian reformation (Jan Hus), German reformation (Martin Luther and his epigoni), English reformation (Henry VIII and Elisabeth I). The final part of the paper shortly discusses Kubeš's personality as a man of his time.
