Timeline

1882

The last time a Ukrainian Major Archbishop left office while living was in 1882.

1909

Luka Demchuk (Demczuk), the Priest of the Parish of the Resurrection of village Kal'ne from 1909 to 1929, was the maternal grandfather of Cardinal Liubomyr Huzar.

1933

Liubomyr Huzar MSU (Любомир Гузар; 26 February 1933 – 31 May 2017) was the Major Archbishop of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and the first elected in independent Ukraine.

He was also a cardinal of the Catholic Church.

1944

Huzar emigrated with his parents in 1944 during World War II due to the advancing Soviet Army.

1949

At first the Huzar family briefly lived in Salzburg, Austria, then emigrated to the United States in 1949.

1950

From 1950 to 1954 he studied at St. Basil College Seminary in Stamford, Connecticut.

1958

He studied at The Catholic University of America .Later studied at Fordham University in the United States, and was ordained a priest on 30 March 1958 for the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Stamford.

From 1958 to 1969, he taught at St. Basil College Seminary and was pastor at Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Church in Kerhonkson, New York, between 1966 and 1969.

1969

In 1969, Huzar went to Rome, where he spent three years earning a doctorate in theology at the Pontifical Urbaniana University.

1974

He then entered the Monastery of the Studites in Castel Gandolfo in Italy, and was named its Superior in 1974.

1975

He was honoured with the highest state award "for his outstanding personal contribution in spiritual revival of the Ukrainian nation, longstanding church work, and to mark his 75th birthday".

1977

He was consecrated a bishop in 1977 in the Castel Gandolfo chapel by Major Archbishop Josyf Slipyj with help of titular bishop of Zigris Ivan Prasko and bishop of Toronto Isidore Borecky without papal approval (apostolic mandate) in an act which caused many irritations in the Roman Curia, as Roman Canon Law required papal permission for the consecration of a bishop, while the Canons of the Eastern Churches did not.

1978

He was named Archimandrite (Archabbot) of the Studite Monks in Europe and America in 1978.

1994

He organised a new Saint Theodore the Studite monastery in Kolodiivka, Ternopil Oblast, Ukraine, in 1994, and was elected by the Synod of Bishops of the Ukrainian Church as exarch of the archiepiscopal exarchy of Kyiv and Vyshhorod in 1995, confirmed by the Pope the following year (February 1996) by nominating to the titular see of Nisa di Licia.

1995

Huzar was one of about a dozen like-minded European prelates who met annually from 1995 to 2006 in St. Gallen, Switzerland, to discuss reforms with respect to the appointment of bishops, collegiality, bishops' conferences, the primacy of the papacy and sexual morality; they differed among themselves, but shared the view that Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was not the sort of candidate they hoped to see elected at the next conclave.

1996

On 14 October 1996 the UGCC Synod of Bishops named Huzar auxiliary of the Archbishop Major of Lviv as coadjutor with special delegations.

1999

In October 1999 he attended the 2nd Special Assembly for Europe.

Although once a citizen of the United States, Huzar gave up his U.S. citizenship after transferring to Ukraine, and adopted the citizenship of Ukraine.

2000

In December 2000, Pope John Paul II named Huzar apostolic administrator of the Ukrainian Greek Major-Archeparchy of Lviv, and in January 2001 the Ukrainian Greek synod elected him Major Archbishop which was approved by the Pope the next day.

On 21 February of that year Pope John Paul II made Huzar Cardinal-Priest of Santa Sofia a Via Boccea.

2005

After the transfer of the see of Lviv to Kyiv in 2005, he was the Ukrainian Catholic Major Archbishop of Kyiv-Galicia.

Cardinal Huzar was one of the three Eastern Catholics to participate in the papal conclave, 2005, the others being Ignace Daoud of the Syriac Catholic Church and Varkey Vithayathil of the Syro-Malabar Church.

(Nasrallah Boutros Sfeir and Stéphanos II Ghattas of the Maronite Church and Coptic Catholic Church respectively were both over 80 and therefore could not take part.) At that papal conclave, he was one of the cardinals considered papabile, something unusual for an Eastern Catholic.

Also at that conclave, Cardinal Huzar was the first Major-Archbishop from the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church ever to participate in a papal conclave as cardinal-elector.

The major archiepiscopal see of Lviv was moved on 21 August 2005, to the city of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.

He was acclaimed by his followers as Patriarch of Kyiv-Galicia, a title not recognised by the Holy See.

2007

In October 2007, Huzar received an honorary doctorate from the Catholic University of America in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the first assigning of a bishop of the UGCC to the United States.

2008

In February 2008, a celebratory liturgy was held in the Basilica of Santa Sophia in Rome on the occasion of the 75th birthday and 50th anniversary of priesthood of Cardinal Huzar.

The Head of the UGCC was greeted by Pope Benedict XVI, whose address was read by the secretary of Cardinal Leonardo Sandri, Monsignor Maurizio Malvestiti.

In 2008 Viktor Yushchenko signed a decree to decorate Cardinal Huzar with the Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise (the 3rd class).

2011

In February 2011 he became Major Archeparch Emeritus after he resigned due to ill health.

He was born in what is now the city of Lwów (now Lviv, Ukraine), in the family of Yaroslav Huzar and Rostyslava Demchuk (Demczuk).

With failing eyesight due to poorly treated eye disease forcing him to perform the church's intricate liturgical rites from memory, his early resignation was accepted on 10 February 2011 although normally the major archbishop serves for life.

Cardinal Huzar's resignation triggered a meeting of the Synod of the Ukrainian church, comprising its global body of bishops, to elect a new major archbishop, which must begin within a month.

In the interim, Ihor Vozniak, C.SS.R., Archeparch of Lviv, served as administrator.

The new Major Archbishop, Sviatoslav Shevchuk, was elected by the Ukrainian Synod on 23 March and confirmed by Pope Benedict XVI on 25 March 2011.

2013

On 26 February 2013, 2 days before the announced resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, Cardinal Huzar turned 80 and lost his right to participate in a conclave.

2017

He died on 31 May 2017 at the age of 84.
