List Of Bishops Of Warmia
This is a list of Bishops and Prince-Bishops of the Diocese of Warmia (Ermland)
The Bishopric was founded in 1243 as the Bishopric of Ermland, one of four bishoprics of Teutonic Prussia. In 1356 it became an Imperial Prince-Bishopric under Emperor Charles IV, and from 1512 until the 20th century it was an exempt bishopric. After 1947 the bishop's seat was left vacant following the expulsion of the German population and the Bishop of Ermland from Prussia.
In 1972 a new Polish Diocese was installed, which in 1992 was elevated to an archdiocese.
(Polish: Diecezja warmińska, Latin: Archidioecesis Varmiensis, German: Bistum Ermland).

Famous quotes containing the words list of and/or list:
“Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
