Life
After graduating from high school, Wincenty Urban studied theology at the University of Lemberg and was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Lemberg , where he then worked as a chaplain .

In 1953 he qualified as a professor at the theological faculty of the Kraków University with a thesis on the Breslau bishop Leopold von Sedlnitzky . He then taught church history, patrology and art history at the Catholic University in Wroclaw .
