The biography of a candidate for bishop: Jerzy Stroba - the priest of the diocese of Katowice (1942-1958)

Summary/Abstract: In the article, the author discusses one of the typical biographies of a candidate for bishop, whom Jerzy Stroba nominally was - the suffragan for the Archdiocese of Gniezno, or in fact, the suffragan in the Gorzów Ordinariate, alongside Bishop Wilhelm Pluta. The biography has a chronological order and presents the Silesian clergyman who was ordained as a priest by Cardinal Adolf Bertram, during the war, and who worked in various positions in the Katowice diocese, after the end of the war. In 1958, he was assigned to help another Silesian bishop, Wilhelm Pluta, the governor of the Gorzów Ordinariate, which became the apostolic administration in 1967 and next it was elevated to the rank of a diocese in 1972. What is more, the author puts forward hypotheses on the circumstances of the election and nomination of Stroba as bishop.
