Life edit
Popiel was the son of Konstanty Popiel and Zofia von Badenich.[1] He studied law in Warsaw, after which he went work in the judiciary. After his father's death, when he returned to Czaple Wielkie he decided to attend the seminary in Kielce (Wyższe Seminarium Duchowne w Kielcach). He completed his studies there in 1849. He was ordained a priest on 5 August 1849.[2] He then studied at Leuven in Belgium, where he received a doctorate in theology. This was followed by studies in Rome. After returning to Kielce, he became a professor at the seminary and served as its vice-regens (vice-chairman).[3]
In 1862 he became the rector of the Theological Academy in Warsaw at the former monastery at the Church of St Francis.[4] In 1863, he was appointed Bishop of Plock by Pope Pius IX; he was consecrated on 6 December 1863 by Henryk Ludwik Plater.[1][3] In 1868 he was exiled to Veliky Novgorod; on his return in 1876 he was appointed Bishop of Kujawy–Kaliska. He was appointed Archbishop of Warsaw in 1883.[4]
