Archbishop Józef Teodorowicz (1864-1938). An Armenian Hierarch
Abstract
As a hierarch of the Church, Józef Teodorowicz had a unique capacity for combining his
calling to priesthood with a concurrent dedication to social and national ministry. That is why he
always strongly advocated an authentic development of autonomy and religious freedom of the
Armenian minority and of other national communities in Galicia. He was convinced that only by
maintaining the community's distinctiveness and identity can traditional values be truly guarded.
Teodorowicz was aware that genuine spiritual and cultural ties in a national community living in
diaspora can only be cultivated in an attitude of trust and by setting personal example of worthy
conduct. Hence in his pastoral letters and on other occasions he attached such powerful prominence
to his deep concern about pouring into the hearts of the faithful the spirit of love and courage so
that they could be living carriers of the most profound national traditions.
