It is difficult to assess the actual number of Czechoslovak Catholics. In the years immediately following the First World War, the Catholic Church lost 1,388,000 members in Czechoslovakia, mainly in the Czech provinces. This figure includes victims of the war and emigrants, as well as those who left the church. About 500,000 to 800,000 joined the breakaway Czechoslovak National Church, established in 1919. In the 1921 census, 76.3 of the population reported themselves as Roman Catholic. This was a sharp drop from the 96.5 who reported themselves as Roman Catholic in 1913, a period when public and state employees were not permitted to report themselves as "without religion" if they wanted to keep their jobs.

On the petka; The tremendous power of the petka, which was extraconstitutional, was one of the only features of the country's politics which tarnished the image of a purely democratic Czechoslovak state. Yet, one could also argue that the petka maintained balance among the main political parties and enabled the state to remain stable and resistant to the extreme politics prevalent in Central Europe during the interwar period
