Martin von Dunin , Polish Marcin Dunin , Marcin Dunin-Sulgustowski (born November 11, 1774 in Wał near Rawa Mazowiecka , Poland; † December 26, 1842 in Posen ) was the Archbishop of Gniezno and Posen and Primate of Poland .

life and work

Martin von Dunin was educated in the Jesuit school in Rawa Mazowiecka and in the Collegium Germanicum in Rome, was canon at the Metropolitan Church of Gniezno in 1808 , consistorial and school councilor in Posen in 1824 and archbishop in 1831. When the Breve Pius VIII of March 25, 1830, concerning mixed marriages, gave rise to a dispute with Archbishop Droste-Vischering of Cologne in 1835 , Dunin asked the Minister of Spiritual Affairs and then the King in January 1837, to be allowed to publish the papal breve in his archdiocese was refused. But the papal allocation of December 10, 1837 to the removal of the Archbishop of Cologne had scarcely been made when Dunin threatened in a pastoral letter of February 27, 1838 every clergyman with removal from office who would bless a mixed marriage without the promise of the bride and groom beforehand to have received that their children should be brought up in the Catholic religion, and without having gained the conviction that the Catholic part of the hope was to lead the non-Catholic back to his church . When the subsequent negotiations with the archbishop did not lead to a peaceful result, a ministerial rescript declared the pastoral letter to be a violation of the archbishop's authority and opened a criminal case against the archbishop. A peaceful settlement, which the king tried personally, did not materialize, and so Dunin was sentenced on April 24th by the Higher Regional Court in Poznan to the loss of his dignity and to six months' imprisonment. The king waived the latter on the condition that he lived quietly in Berlin, while retaining his full salary. Dunin accepted this pardon with its conditions, but on October 3, 1839 he secretly left Berlin for Posen and immediately reappeared as archbishop there. Arrested again and taken to Kolberg , he remained there until August 1840, when Frederick William IV allowed him to return to his diocese against certain declarations. A short time afterwards, Dunin instructed the clergy to refrain from the requirement of the usual promises in mixed marriages and, in the case of mixed marriages already entered into, to judge whether or not to refuse the sacraments according to the state of mind of the Catholic spouse.

Dunin was awarded the Order of the Black Eagle .
