Bull of Pope Pius IV to the faithful regarding the appointment of Stanisław Słomowski as Archbishop of Lviv

Pius, Bishop, Servant of the Servants of God, to our beloved sons [...] the people [...] of the city and diocese of Lviv, greetings and apostolic blessing. Today, we have released our venerable brother Stanisław, formerly Bishop of Laodicea, elected Archbishop of Lviv, by the counsel of our brothers and by the fullness of apostolic authority, from the bond by which he was bound to the church of Laodicea, which he had hitherto led, and we have transferred him to the church of Lviv, then deprived of the comfort of a shepherd due to the death of Paweł of holy memory, formerly Archbishop of Lviv, who died outside the Roman Curia, by the same counsel and apostolic authority, establishing him as its archbishop and shepherd, and fully entrusting to him the care and administration of the said church in spiritual and temporal matters, as is more tightly and fully contained in our letters drawn up for this purpose. Therefore, we admonish and earnestly encourage your community, commanding you by apostolic letters, that you receive the said Stanisław, the elect, as the father and shepherd of your souls with piety and surround him with due reverence, and that you humbly listen to his salutary admonitions and commands; so that Stanisław, the elect, may find in you sons of devotion, and you, in turn, may rejoice in having found a benevolent father in him. Given in Rome at Saint Mark's, in the year of the Lord's Incarnation one thousand five hundred and sixty-five, on the seventh day before the Ides of September [September 7, 1565], in the sixth year of our pontificate.
