Antoni Angelowicz (Ukrainian: Антін Ангелович, Polish: Anton Anhełłowycz ) ( born April 13, 1759 in Hryniw, Galicia, † June 6, 1814 in Lviv ) was a Ukrainian Catholic theologian of the Uniate Churches, 1796-1808 Bishop of Przemysl and then until his death, first Metropolitan of Lviv.
Life
Antoni Angelowicz was from Galicia, and was on the Lemburger Academy, which was run by the Jesuits, prefigured. He then continued his education at the seminary for nobles and began 16- year activity in a diocesan office. He also studied theology and philosophy at the Greek Catholic General Seminar in Vienna.
1780 Angelowicz at the seminar, which moved this year to Lviv was professor. Three years later he was promoted to principal, making him the leader of the Greek Uniate clergy from Hungary, Galicia and Transylvania. In 1784 he was Gubernialrat, as the monastery resolution a liquidation commission had been appointed, and represented from 1789, the theological studies at the Studienhofkommission, which had been formed during a curriculum change.
Angelowicz was consecrated on 14 February 1796 Bishop of Przemysl by Vazynsky of Chelm. On September 25, 1808, he became the first Metropolitan of Halych '; his seat was in Lviv.
Because Angelowicz refused to sign the call of the Polish troops from Warsaw, who saw to it that the region of Austria became independent again, and spread, he was imprisoned. He escaped and received for his patriotism by Austria in 1809, the Grand Cross of the Austro- Imperial Order of Leopold.
The Episcopate held Angelowicz held until June 6, 1814, the day he died.
Angelowicz had invested heavily in the state and for the church. He regulated the dioceses of Lvov and Przemysl and established them. This change was still mid-19th century. For the Library of the Lviv chapter, he donated 8,000 books and gave the archbishop's insignia, which he had bought for 30,000 florins. He also bought the Starostei Halych for 96000 Gudeln, whereupon he gave the Lviv city. However, he died before he could pay that price. Francis II paid him for the remaining half of the money.
Angelowicz himself wrote only a translation of a pamphlet in the Polish language: Kto jest strona zaczenpną, Austrya lub Francya? (1809 ).
