  • The Mariavite Church is an independent Christian church that emerged from the Catholic Church of Poland at the turn of the 20th century. Initially, it was an internal movement leading to a reform of the Polish clergy, but after a conflict with Polish bishops it became a separate and independent denomination. Currently the Mariavite denominations have around 28,000 members in Poland and 5,000 in France. Michał Maria Ludwik Jabłoński is the Prime Bishop of the Old Catholic Mariavite Church and has been since 2007. The Mariavite Church is one of very few religious movements that developed in Poland or among Polish communities abroad after the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. The other example is the Polish National Catholic Church that was founded in the United States. The reasons behind the establishment of these two churches are different. The leaders of the Polish National Church fought for the equal treatment of Polish immigrants in the Irish- and German-led Catholic Church in the U.S. of that era. The leaders of Mariavite movement were trying to reform the clergy and Catholic communities spiritually in Poland, which at this time was divided into three countries (see: partitions of Poland). Although at the beginning the Mariavite Church had no connection with Protestantism, there are now what some see as fairly minor commonalities with Protestantism that are more fully discussed below.
