☆ Save On Wikipedia ↗

The Bishop of Kamianets-Podilskyi is the head of the diocese of Kamianets-Podilskyi. Its begins with its founding in the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland around 1375 when Pope Urban VI, on the initiative of then king of Poland Louis I of Hungary, erected the diocese in Kamianets-Podilskyi. It was subordinated to the metropolis of Halych in the administrative region of Halych Land.

In 1795, Russian empress Catherine the Great abolished the Kamianets-Podilskyi Diocese, only to be restored a few years later in 1798 by Paul I of Russia, who placed the Kamianets-Podilskyi bishopric under the authority of the Archbishop of Mogilev as its metropolis. In 1866, the diocese was again abolished by the Tsarist autocracy. From the years 1867-1918 it was administered by the bishops of Lutsk-Zhytomyr.[1][2]
