Bishop of Wender
Livonia - Opis:
- This article regards ecclesiastical activities in Livonia of eminent Krakovian humanist Andrzej Patrycy Nidecki (1522–1587). In 1582 he was appointed bishop of Wenden (currently Cēsis in Latvia). Lycopolis (Dioecesis Lycopolitan) took Nidecki only in 1585. He found there a complex political and religious situation. Nidecki was surrounded by Protestants, largely of German origin, who were unfriendly to Catholics. He lacked financial resources to effectively manage the diocese. Assistance in rebuilding of administrative structures of the Catholic Church and in pastoral service was given to him by a small group of Catholic clergy. The three of them: Edmann Tolksdorf, Andreas Krüger and Fabian Kwadrantyn, came to Livonia in 1582 by the Bishop of Warmia, Marcin Kromer. Nidecki’s governance over Livonia was short. After two years of his residence in Wolmar (now Valmiera in Latvia) Bishop died unexpectedly. This coincided in time with the death of King Stefan Batory. Then there was a further period of crisis and turmoil in the diocese. That crisis was managed by the next bishop only after a two-year vacancy. The new bishop Otto von Schenking was descended from the local clergy . The proof of episodic activity of Nidecki in Livonia is a tombstone in the old cathedral of St. John in Latvian Cesis (currently the Protestant church) that was renovated recently by the Polish-Latvian conservation services.
