Relacje caratu i Kościoła rzymskokatolickiego na tzw. ziemiach zabranych w świetle pism bpa Macieja Wołonczewskiego
Relations between the tsarist regime and the Roman Catholic Church in the so-called annexed territories in the light of the writings of Bishop Maciej Wołonczewski

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the mutual relations between the Tsar and the Roman Catholic Church in the 19th century in the light of the writings of Fr. Maciej Wołonczewski, a lecturer at the Roman Catholic Theological Academy in St. Petersburg, canon, rector of the seminary and, finally, bishop of the Samogitian diocese between 1850-1875. The main content of interest is presented in a cross-sectional manner. The notes (Namų užrašai), published in 2003, have not been widely used in research, although the information they contain illuminates the prevailing relations among the higher clergy in the Russian Empire and tsarist policy toward the Church, including a number of repressions used against it (such as the action to destroy the Greek Catholic Church).
