„Człowiek głębokiej wiary i wielkiej mądrości”. Ks. dr hab. Marian Jakubiec (1929‒2014)

In the history of Cracow catechetics an important role was played by Reverend Father Marian Jakubiec. Although the Faculty of Theology of the Jagiellonian University had the right to confer a degree of PhD Habilitation already in 1880, we had to wait for the first such a promotion in the field of catechetics until 1993. Then, no longer within the walls of the oldest Polish university, but in the premises of the Pontifical Academy of Theology in Cracow (the continuator of the Faculty of Theology at the Jagiellonian University), Father Marian Jakubiec obtained the academic degree of PhD Habilitated on the basis of the dissertation entitled: “The James M. Lee’s System in the Context of Catechetical Pluralism” and became the first independent researcher in the field of catechetics in Krakow. This article is devoted to presenting and saving from oblivion the figure of this priest and scholar.
