The Archdiocese of Warsaw ( Latin : Archidioecesis Varsaviensis , Polish : Archidiecezja warszawska ) is an archbishopric in Poland . The Archbishop of Warsaw is at the same time metropolitan of the eponymous ecclesiastical province, to which the dioceses of Płock and Warsaw-Praga are subordinate as suffragan dioceses . The Bishop's Church is St. John's Cathedral .
history
The diocese was founded on October 16, 1798 ( Bulle Ad universam agri Dominici curam ), on March 12, 1818, as an archdiocese without (Bulle Militantis Ecclesiae regimini ), and on June 30, 1828 ( Ex impsita nobis ) with a metropolitan seat. From 1946 to 1992 there was a personal union with the Archdiocese of Gniezno .
When the Polish dioceses were restructured in 1992 ( Apostolic Constitution Totus Tuus Poloniae Populus of March 25), this union was dissolved. Initially, the diocese of Łódź and the diocese of Łowicz also belonged to the metropolis . However, Łódź itself became a metropolitan seat in 2004 with Łowicz as a suffragan.
