As a schoolboy he befriended the poet Otokar Březina in 1897, entered the seminary in Brno and was ordained a priest in 1902. His conflicts with his hierarchy earned him compulsory retirement in 1912. Settled in 1922 in Tasov, in a house designed by Bohuslav Fuchs, he was prosecuted for defamation in 1924 and saw notebooks of his journal seized for his attacks on Masaryk. The author of about a hundred books, he died in Třebíč on 10 February 1961.
