List Of Bishops Of Warmia

This is a list of Bishops and Prince-Bishops of the Diocese of Warmia (Ermland)

The Bishopric was founded in 1243 as the Bishopric of Ermland, one of four bishoprics of Teutonic Prussia. In 1356 it became an Imperial Prince-Bishopric under Emperor Charles IV, and from 1512 until the 20th century it was an exempt bishopric. After 1947 the bishop's seat was left vacant following the expulsion of the German population and the Bishop of Ermland from Prussia.

In 1972 a new Polish Diocese was installed, which in 1992 was elevated to an archdiocese.

(Polish: Diecezja warmiƄska, Latin: Archidioecesis Varmiensis, German: Bistum Ermland).

    Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.
