    Diecezje łucka i żytomierska w świetle schematyzmu na 1832 rok (3). Duchowieństwo

    We present another text concerning the situation of the Latin Rite Catholic Church in Russia before the fall of the November Uprising, based on schemata, supplemented and verified based on sources (especially visitation records). The previous ones discussed the schematism of the Kamieniec diocese in 1831 and the Lutsk and Zhytomyr diocese in 1832, as well as issues related to the organization of the Lutsk, Zhytomyr and Kamieniec dioceses and the Catholic clergy from Podolia. This text presents the clergy incardinated in the autumn of 1831 in the Łuck and Żytomierz dioceses. Based on schematism, it was established that there were 161 priests in these dioceses at that time, most of whom were involved in pastoral care at parish churches and public chapels. In the first three decades of the 19th century, the number of clergy in Volhynia significantly decreased. In 1801, 329 priests belonged to both dioceses. However, it is worth to remember that at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, the chancel of both dioceses was joined by 116 clergymen who had changed from the Greek-Uniate to the Latin rite, due to government restrictions and the lack of freedom in conducting Catholic pastoral ministry in the Eastern Rite, which resulted in the transition of many Uniate parishes on Orthodoxy. In 1831, 15 priests out of this number were still alive. Thus, In Podolia, in the dioceses of Lutsk and Zhytomyr, there were not enough priests to fill pastoral positions. Most of the priests operating in Volhynia in the fall of 1831 came from the Ukrainian lands, although there were also clergymen from Lithuanian-Belarusian lands. Many of them, choosing the priesthood, chose the Volyn seminaries due to the lack of clergy in both dioceses. The priests who came from Volhynia mainly came from the nobility and obtained secondary education close to their family home. Few of them had a university education and had an academic degree. Usually, those alumni of Volyn seminaries, whom the bishop sent to the Main Seminary in Vilnius and to study theology at the Imperial University, constituted the elite of the clergy. They became members of chapters, officials of the consistory and lecturers of theological seminaries, and in later years provosts and priests in prominent parishes. Half of the described priests lived to the age of 60.

    Krótki opis parafii diecezji latyczowskiej przyłączonych do archidiecezji mohylewskiej, sporządzony w 1799 r. Edycja źródła
    (Uniwersytet Papieski Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2023-03-30) Szczepaniak, Jan
    Formally erected around 1405, the Latin Catholic diocese of Kiev existed until the end of the 18th century (for church authorities until 1798, although Catherine II abolished it on 27 September 1795). The history of the diocese was extremely turbulent. Constant Tartar invasions, the Chmielnicki uprising, the Polish-Russian wars and the 17th and 18th century Cossack rebellions not only did not favour the development of the diocese and led to a reduction in its area, but on several occasions led to the destruction of its administrative structure. Renewed after the Cossack and Russian wars, the diocese had 10–11 churches by the end of the 17th century. After the further ravages that affected its territory in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, there were at least 25 churches before 1748. Cossack rebellions halted its development for some time. Nevertheless, by the end of the 18th century, there were 53 churches on the territory of the diocese, of which at least 42 had the status of parish churches. Despite the medieval origins of the diocese and its apparent development in the 18th century, there are not many entries in the bibliography on it. The same is true of the historiography of the Braclaw region (Lithuanian Podolia), which belonged to the Luck and Brest dioceses in the pre-partition period. The unsatisfactory state of conducted research is related to the small known source base. Recent queries have revealed several new sources for the history of the Latin Church in the south-eastern periphery of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, in the Ukrainian lands. One of them is a short description of 20 parishes functioning in this area at the end of the 18th century. The description was prepared for the needs of Mogilev consistory officials, after these parishes were annexed to the Mogilev archdiocese in 1798. It was compiled a year later, based on parish priests› accounts and dean’s visitation records. On the basis of this description and other newly discovered sources from that time, it is possible to find out essential information about the parishes described, the time of their foundation, their founders, benefices, churches, clergy, number of believers and the towns where parish schools and hospitals were functioning at that time.
