Jurgis Petkūnas
|
Jurgis Petkūnas (also Petkevičius, Petkonis; ; died in 1574) was a Bishop of Samogitia from 1567 to 1574.
|
He received medical education in universities in Germany and Italy.
|
Despite his lack of theological education, Petkūnas was confirmed as bishop in November 1567.
|
He inherited a neglected diocese that had only about 20 priests and faced competition from the Protestants.
|
He was the first Samogitian bishop charged with implementing the Counter-Reformation decisions of the Council of Trent.
|
Petkūnas was born in Eišiškės to a wealthy Lithuanian noble family.
|
He was orphaned as a child.
|
He studied at the University of Wittenberg and University of Padua and University of Ferrara where he earned a doctorate in medicine in May 1556.
|
Petkūnas returned to Lithuania and became a physician of bishop as well as the Calvinist supporter Mikołaj "the Black" Radziwiłł.
|
According to an anonymous satire from 1568, Petkūnas also served as a royal physician.
|
He became a canon of the cathedral chapter in Varniai, which was then the seat of the Diocese of Samogitia.
|
In November 1563, he became a canon of the cathedral chapter in Vilnius, capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and seat of the Diocese of Vilnius.
|
On 30 January 1567, Grand Duke Sigismund Augustus sent a request to Pope Pius V to reassign bishop from Samogitia to now vacant Diocese of Lutsk and to appoint Petkūnas as bishop of Samogitia.
|
Despite his lack of theological education, Petkūnas was confirmed as bishop on 14 November 1567.
|
The diocese did not have a permanent bishop for about four years and Petkūnas found it neglected and affected by the Protestant Reformation.
|
He was the first Samogitian bishop charged with implementing the Counter-Reformation decisions of the Council of Trent.
|
However, little is known about his activities in the diocese; he likely spent a lot of time in Vilnius and not in Samogitia.
|
In 1569, together with other bishops, he signed the Union of Lublin.
|
He supported reconstruction of the Church of St. Francis and St. Bernard in Vilnius and bequeathed religious paintings from Holland, liturgical objects and robes to Varniai Cathedral.
|
In his last will, Petkūnas left 1,700 kopas of Lithuanian groschens to send twelve students to the Jesuit Academy in Vilnius.
|
The money was used by his successor Bishop Merkelis Giedraitis to construct a house in Vilnius for Samogitian clerics.
|
In 1573, Petkūnas promoted his nephew Petras Petkūnas, ordained only as an acolyte, to a canon of the cathedral chapter in Varniai and gave him parishes in Betygala and Viduklė.
|
However, Petras Petkūnas neglected his parishes and frequently lived in Vilnius.
|
Petkūnas died in 1574 and was buried in a crypt of the Varniai Cathedral.
|
In letters of Cardinal Michele Bonelli, before his appointment as bishop, Petkūnas was evaluated as having two undesirable traits – relatively low birth and enjoying alcohol more than what would be appropriate for a bishop.
|
Petkūnas was ridiculed in "In quendam antistitem", a Latin poem by , a Spaniard working in Vilnius, for neglecting his duties and spending his time hunting.
|
The poem was quoted by Bishop Motiejus Valančius in his influential history of the Diocese of Samogitia.
|
Valančius also quoted Albert Wijuk Kojałowicz who claimed that at the time of Petkūnas, the diocese was so neglected that it had just seven priests.
|
This evaluation persisted in historiography, but according to Lithuanian historian Zenonas Ivinskis, it is too critical.
|
According to Ivinskis study, the diocese probably had about 17 to 20 priests.
|
During Petkūnas tenure, only one new parish church was built (in Kvėdarna in 1569).
