- This article is an attempt to show the attitude of the Greek-Catholic hierarchy in the Polish lands to the events of the Napoleonic era. The subject is discussed on the basis of the behavior of two Uniate bishops, presenting contradictory views and political affiliation. The Greek-Catholic bishop of Przemysl, Antoni Angełłowicz, since 1808 the Greek-Catholic Archbishop of Galicia, was a strong advocate of the alliance with the Habsburg monarchy, moreover, he was loyal to the Austrian emperor and supported his policy. The bishop of the neighboring with Galicia Greek-Catholic diocese of Chelm, Ferdinand Ciechanowski, agreed with the attitudes of Polish society, and clearly supported the policy of the French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. The pastoral letters of metropolitan Angełłowicz (1805), and bishop Ciechanowski (1812) together with other sources to this period became the basis for the analysis and comparison of different attitudes and political views of both representatives of the hierarchy. The pastoral letter of 1805 was released at a critical moment of the history of Austria, after Austrian defeat in the Battle of Ulm with the forces of Napoleon and Vienna and the Czech lands occupied by the French . The letter contained a declaration of the bishop’s and the Galician Ruthenians’ loyalty to the Austrian monarchy and the Emperor of Austria. Anti-French attitudes of Angełłowicz was confirmed in two political pamphlets that were written by him and published under the title Who is the party provoking: Austria or France? (1805) and Austrian Patriot Comments on Certain Articles from Foreign Newspapers (1809). Disclosure of political sympathies forced the Metropolitam to temporarily leave Lviv after the Galicia went under occupation by the Polish army in 1809 A completely different personality was Uniate bishop of Chelm, Ferdynand Dąbrowa Ciechanowski. The cardinal was involved in the political life of the Duchy of Warsaw (as a senator), especially in the events of 1812 and preparations for the "Polish War", led by Emperor Napoleon. Ciechanowski took part in the Parliament of 1812 and the establishment of the General Confederation of the Polish Kingdom, which proclaimed the rebirth of an independent state. Under the influence of the patriotic atmosphere he announced the pastoral letter to priests and faithful of his diocese on June 28th, 1812. He expressed universal joy from the rebirth of an independent Poland and solidarity with the Polish society. The consequences of his pro-Polish speaking incurred after Napoleon’s defeat in Russia and Russian invasion of the Duchy of Warsaw in 1813, then he was forced to temporarily leave his diocese to avoid imprisonment. In the years of his reign (died in 1828) Ciechanowski carried out a number of important reforms for the Greek-Catholic dioceses, patterning the organization and functioning on the Latin Church.
