KRAKOW, Poland— Arguably, few men in modern history were as destined to live in the shadow of a great personality as the current Archbishop of Krakow, Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz. Next week he will be the host of Francis’ first visit to Poland, the land of St. Pope John Paul II, whom Dziwisz served as private secretary for over 40 years.

On the eve of Dziwisz’s swan song, the first World Youth Day in the city that belongs to John Paul II, his loyal aide and spiritual heir told Crux that this encounter is about building a Europe of peace.

“I hope this World Youth Day is a beginning of a new atmosphere in Europe, with great hope and love. And I tell the doubtful that they have to come to be with the pope and the youth, to experience the joy of being Christians,” Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, 77, said on Wednesday.

He told Crux during a conversation at Krakow’s bishop’s residence, the same place where Archbishop Karol Wojtyla, later John Paul II, lived from 1962 until 1978, not only Catholics will participate in the event, as there are delegations coming from the Russian Orthodox Patriarchate and also from various protestant denominations.

“We want to create an atmosphere of solidarity and peace, to show the world that it can be different: happier, more invested in peace and the poor, as the Holy Father Francis says,” Dziwisz said.

The prelate also said that the terrorist attacks in France and Brussels haven’t deterred the pilgrims. On the contrary, more French pilgrims registered after the violent events in Paris and Nice.

Having served as the Archbishop of Krakow since June 2005, Dziwisz is in one sense the spiritual head of this city which is getting ready to welcome millions, but in a deep, more spiritual sense, he’s the heir of the pope who looms over this World Youth Day like none other: St. John Paul II, founder of these youth rallies that in the last 30 years have been attended by over

Polish cardinal of the Catholic Church

Stanisław Jan Dziwisz (Polish pronunciation:[staˈɲiswavˈdʑiviʂ]; born 27 April 1939) is a Polish prelate of the Catholic Church. He served as Metropolitan Archbishop of Kraków from 2005 until 2016. He was created a cardinal in 2006. He was a long-time and influential aide to Pope John Paul II, a friend of Pope Benedict XVI, and an ardent supporter of John Paul II's beatification.

Early life, ordination, and priesthood

Stanisław Jan Dziwisz was born in the village of Raba Wyżna to Stanisław Dziwisz, a railroad worker, and his wife, Zofia Bielarczyk. The fifth of seven children, he has four brothers and two sisters. During World War II, the family hid a Jewish man in their house. When the younger Stanisław was only nine, his father died after being struck by a train while crossing the railroad tracks. He attended the classical Secondary School (Liceum) in Nowy Targ, passing the exam of maturity in 1957.

Dziwisz then entered the Major Seminary of Kraków, where he completed his studies in philosophy and theology. On 23 June 1963, he was ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Kraków by its auxiliary bishop, Bishop Karol Wojtyła. His first assignment was as a curate at a parish in Maków Podhalański, where he served for two years. He then continued his studies at the Faculty of Theology of Kraków, specializing in liturgy and earning a Licentiate of Sacred Theology in 1967. In October 1966, he was appointed by Archbishop Wojtyła, who had been elevated to Archbishop of Kraków, to serve as his personal secretary. Dziwisz remained in this position until Wojtyła's death in 2005.

In addition to his duties as personal secretary, Dziwisz served as professor of liturgy at the Superior Catechetical Institute in Kraków, editor o

A second recent controversial order by Jedraszewski was also suspended by the dicastery pending further investigations. In this order, the archbishop appointed an external curator to take over extensive estate and property assets belonging to Kraków's Wawel Cathedral chapter, after rejecting its financial reports.

Asked about the dicastery decrees, the former visitation leader, Michalczewski, who is now the Kraków Archdiocese's chief spokesman, economist as well as police chaplain, among other duties, told OSV News Jedraszewski had not been contacted by the Vatican, adding his orders had been "suspended" rather than repealed.

However, a church source in Kraków said it was widely believed Jedraszewski had sought to "maneuver" loyal church staffers into prominent positions prior to his retirement, while removing clergy associated with his predecessor, Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, who was personal secretary to St. John Paul II for 39 years.

The source added that Dziwisz, who previously employed Ras as his secretary, was believed to have argued the archpriest's case in Rome.

Meanwhile, the author of a recent biography of the archbishop, journalist Tomasz Terlikowski, told OSV News he also believed Jedraszewski's moves were aimed at ensuring "close collaborators" obtained "strong and influential positions" before a new archbishop was appointed, adding that the Vatican's rare intervention suggested Archbishop Jedraszewski had "violated canonical rules."

"The situation has been made worse by Jedraszewski's refusal to talk with local Catholics. This is a rich and interesting parish, full of professors and other distinguished people, who haven't even been given an opportunity to express their views," Terlikowski said.

Besides facing criticism from liberal Catholics and secular media, Jedraszewski was not named a cardinal by Pope Francis
