Stanislav Bogush-Sestrentsevich (3 September 1731 – 1 December 1826) was a Belarusian who became the first bishop of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Mohilev, an Archbishop from 1784 and a prominent member of the Russian Academy (1807), who had earlier converted from Calvinism. ==Biography== Stanislav Bogush-Sestrentsevich (Stanisław Bohusz Siestrzeńcewicz) was born in Zanki Troki Province (now Svislach District Grodno Region). His father was a Calvinist. Stanislav studied at Slutskaya Calvinist School, and later at the University of Frankfurt. After traveling through Europe, he visited Amsterdam and London, and served in the Prussian Infantry and the Lithuanian Cavalry. In 1761, he retired with the rank of captain. He then studied under Radziwill, at which point he converted to Catholicism. In 1762, Siestrzeńcewicz developed a course of theology in Warsaw. In 1763, he received holy orders. He served as rector in Gomel and Bobruisk and later, a canon in Vilnius. On 2 July 1773, Stanislav was appointed Titular Bishop of Mallo. On 3 October 1773, Monsignor Gyultsenom, bishop of Smolensk, was dedicated to the bishop. After that, he was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Vilnius, which was ceded to Russia. In early December 1773, Catherine II announced the creation of a Belarusian Catholic diocese with headquarters in Mogilev and Bogush-Sestrentsevich's appointment as Belarusian bishop. The newly appointed bishop observed all Latin Rites in Russia (including Moscow and Saint Petersburg). In 1774, Sestrentsevich founded the printing press in Mogilev in order to publish spiritual and secular literature. On 14 February 1782, Catherine II transformed the diocese to the Belarusian Archdiocese of Mogilev and Bogush-Sestrentsevich Archbishop. He took office after a ceremony on 20 February 1782. From this year until the end of the century, Bogush-Sestrentsevich lived in Mogilev. His appointment was made without the consent of the Pope, and in 1783 an extraordinary ambassador of the Holy See, Giovanni Archetti, was sent to Saint Petersburg settle the conflict. Following the talks, in exchange for certain concessions, the pope approved Bogush-Sestrentsevich' nomination and the post of archbishop and handed him the pallium on 22 February 1784. In 1783, Bogush-Sestrentsevich founded the theater in Mogile. From 1798 to 1800, the Bishop chaired the Department of Justice, the Catholic board. From 1801 to 1810 he was Chairman of the Catholic Theological College. Bogush-Sestrentsevich died in 1826 at 96. He was buried in the church of Saint Stanislaus in Saint Petersburg. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stanisław Bohusz Siestrzeńcewicz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
