Abstract

After the systemic changes in Poland, the possibility of full normalization of the administrative division of the Church in Poland was born. In addition, it was favored by the pontificate of John Paul II, well-versed in the civil and ecclesial Polish reality, the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Holy See and the resumption of the apostolic nunciature in Warsaw. Over half a year of preparation, the bull “Totutus Tuus Poloniae populus” was sanctioned on March 25, 1992, which referred to, among others, Diocese of Rzeszów. Although the attempts to set up such a unit were made in 1900 and later in 1920 and 1924, John Paul II’s personal decision to set up a diocese based in Rzeszów.
