Consecration

At the time of his selection, he was the most important person in this Christian movement. He was consecrated bishop in 1909 by the Union of Utrecht of the Old Catholic Churches Gerardus Gul, archbishop of the Old Catholic Archdiocese of Utrecht. In 1919, the Mariavites officially changed their name to the Old Catholic Church of the Mariavites. Kowalski later called himself an archbishop.

Kowalski was deposed on 29 January 1935 by the General Chapter of the Old Catholic Mariavite Church in Płock; his successor in the Old Catholic Mariavite Church was Maria Filip Feldman (pl).[8]

When Kowalski was deposed, a faction of his followers separated from the Old Catholic Mariavite Church and became the Catholic Mariavite Church in Felicjanów. His successor in the Catholic Mariavite Church was his wife, Archpriestess Maria Izabela Wiłucka-Kowalska.

  2. ↑ He was excommunicated from the Catholic Church in 1906.[1]
  3. ↑ Mariavite was recognized as a sect in 1906.[1]
  4. ↑ 4.0 4.1 Co-consecrated with Old Catholic bishops.[4]
  5. ↑ KSM ("Biskupi Mariawiccy") does not include this consecration.
