Bull of Pope Pius IV to the Lviv Chapter regarding the appointment of Paweł as Archbishop of Lviv

Pius, Bishop, Servant of the Servants of God, to our beloved sons, the Chapter of the Church of Lviv, greetings and apostolic blessing. Today, we have provided for your Lviv church, which was deprived of the comfort of a shepherd by the death of the late Feliks, formerly Archbishop of Lviv, who passed away outside the Roman Curia, by our apostolic authority and with the counsel of our brothers, in the person of our beloved son Paweł, Archbishop-elect of Lviv, who is dear to us and our brothers due to the requirements of his merits, and we have established him as its archbishop and shepherd, entrusting to him the full care and administration of this church in both spiritual and temporal matters, as is more fully contained in our letter drawn up regarding this. Therefore, we command your prudence through this apostolic letter that you be obedient to the same Paweł, the elect, as the father and shepherd of your souls, and [...] with due and pious obedience and respect, you should humbly accept his salutary admonitions and commands and strive to [...] fulfill them. Otherwise, the sentence that the same Paweł, the elect, shall lawfully pass against the disobedient, we shall consider valid and, with the help of the Lord, we shall ensure it is inviolably observed until worthy satisfaction is made. Given in Rome at St. Peter's, in the year of the Lord's Incarnation one thousand five hundred and sixty, on the eighteenth day before the Kalends of February, in the first year of our pontificate.
