Abstract

Annotation. The profile of the bishop of the diocese of Janów or Podlasie, Jan Marcel Gutkowski, who was in southern Podlasie in the years 1826-1840 during the period of the Kingdom of Poland, has a unique dimension of the symbolic fight against tsarism. A special figure recognized during his ministry as a «pillar of the Polish Church» clashed with the restrictions on professing the Catholic faith in the area to which Tsarist Russia claimed rights. During his priestly ministry, Jan Marceli Gutkowski was a military chaplain and even the chief chaplain of the Polish Army during the period of the Duchy of Warsaw until 1925.
