Between the commune chief and the priest... The conflict between the commune chief and priests in the 1860s and 1870s in a village near Krakow

Abstract

The article intends to outline the conflict between the squire of the Marszowiec estate and the curates of the Zielonki parish near Krakow in the 1860s and 1870s. Not only did the situation take place in the village, but related complaints and denunciations were also investigated by the Krakow Bishops’ Consistory. The article presents the findings of an investigation of the causes of the dispute, its course, settlement and consequences for both parties. The study is also a contribution to the research on the impact of the service of administrator apostolic Rev. Bishop Antoni Gałecki on clergy and the faithful in smaller parishes.
