Biography

Juliusz Janusz was born on 17 March 1944 in Łyczana, Poland. [1]

He was ordained a priest on 19 March 1967 by Karol Wojtyła, Archbishop of Krakow, later Pope John Paul II. [2]

Diplomatic career

He went to Rome with the intention of earning a degree in canon law but at Wojtyła's urging entered the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy to prepare for a career as a diplomat. Pope Paul VI gave him his first assignment in the diplomatic service of the Holy See in the Nunciature to Thailand, and he then filled positions in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland and Greenland, West and East Germany, Brazil, the Netherlands, Hungary and Taiwan, where he was chargé d’affaires for three years. [2]

On 25 March 1995, Pope John Paul II appointed him titular archbishop of Caprulae and Apostolic Nuncio to Rwanda. He received his episcopal consecration from Cardinal Angelo Sodano on 8 May. John Paul named him Apostolic Nuncio to Mozambique on 26 September 1998 [3] and then to Hungary on 9 April 2003. [4]

On 10 February 2011, Pope Benedict XVI appointed him Apostolic Nuncio to Slovenia and Apostolic Delegate to Kosovo. [5] Because the independent status of Kosovo was still a matter of dispute, his appointment—the first time the Holy See had assigned a diplomat there—was accompanied by an explanatory note: "The mission of an Apostolic Delegate is not of a diplomatic nature but responds to the requirement to meet in an adequate way the pastoral needs of the Catholic faithful." [5]

He retired on 21 September 2018.
