The Church in the time of recovery of Independence in the light of selected examples from the history of Chełman diecision

Waldemar Rozynkowski



Abstract

The role of the Church in the process of the rebirth of the Polish state was multifaceted. This article refers to several selected examples that we encounter in Pomerania and referring to the administrative division of the Church in the Chełmno diocese. The restoration of Polish statehood since autumn 1918 has left its mark on various aspects of the functioning of this diocese. The issue addressed was presented in three scenes. In the first point, it was recalled that the revival of the Polish state influenced the change of the borders of the Chełmno diocese. The state borders and the creation of the diocese of Gdańsk affected the considerable territorial depletion of the diocese referred to. The next two points referred to biographies, or rather the activities of two people: the ordinary of Chełmno, Augustyn Rosentreter and the priest of the Chełm Diocese, Fr. Józef Dembieński. Their example shows the diversity and complexity of attitudes that we encounter in the process of rebirth of Polish statehood in Pomerania.

Keywords:

Chełmno Diocese, bishop Augustine Rosentreter, priest Józef Dembieński
