Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the views and activities of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Bishop Hryhoriy Khomyshyn at the turn of the 1920s and 1930s. Hryhoriy Khomyshyn was one of the greatest supporters of Polish-Ukrainian reconciliation in the Greek Catholic Church. He was a strong critic of ‘pagan’ Ukrainian nationalism. He made efforts to base the social and political life of Ukrainians on Christian ethics. On such grounds, he sought reconciliation between the Polish and Ukrainian nations. His attitude made him the most serious statesman with whom the Polish authorities found common ground.
