Władze Królestwa Polskiego wobec paulinów polskich (1815—1864) Zarys problematyki

In 1815—1864, the majority of the monasteries of the Pauline Fathers were located in the Kingdom of Poland (only the monastery in Skałka in Kraków was located outside of the Kingdom). There was a degree of antipathy tinged with hostility among the authorities of the Kingdom of Poland with regard to contemplative orders, which were regarded by them as lacking any benefits for the rest of society. Moreover, a significant part of the Church hierarchy was opposed to this type of orders. However, the Pauline Fathers ran parishes in their monasteries, which mitigated somewhat the hostility of the elites of that time towards the order. In 1818, the Pauline Fathers lost their monastery in Wieluń, followed by seven other monasteries in 1819, which were closed down by the secular and Church authorities. In the following years, nonetheless, the order reclaimed their monastery in Wielgomłyny, and in 1869, after several years of concentrated efforts, the monastery in Brdów. The Pauline monasteries were carefully controlled by the administrative and diocesan authorities. There were numerous conflicts regarding admittance to the order, as well as several instances of seizure of monastery documentation. Economic matters were also subject to state control. The Pauline Fathers played active parts in the November Uprising, donating to the uprising authorities and financing soldiers fighting in the uprising. The situation of the order deteriorated following the fall of the uprising and the introduction of the martial law by Nicholas I, which impeded mobility between particular monasteries. In addition to that, the process of admittance as well as economic issues became subject to even stricter state control. The Pauline Fathers played an important active part in the events of the years 1861—1864. They organized numerous patriotic services and congresses of the Church hierarchy. A few members of the order, moreover, functioned as chaplains for the insurgents, while others were actively engaged in the conspiracy. There are also several documented instances of armed Pauline Fathers taking part in the fight. As retribution for their activities, in 1864 the Russian authorities closed down all of their monasteries, barring the monastery in Częstochowa.
