Zbigniew Suchecki (born 16 August 1960 in Kamienna Góra)[1] is a Polish Catholic priest, Franciscan, theologian, canonist, Doctor of Pontifical Lateran University and the Pontifical Faculty of St. Bonaventure in Rome, and the consultant of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. He is also known for postulating the canonization process of Father Jerzy Popiełuszko.[2][3][4]
In 1979, Suchecki joined the Kraków Province of the Franciscan Order, then he took his solemn vows. As he took his vows, Suchecki was ordained a priest in 1986,[5] then he studied canon law at the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome, earning the title Doctorate in both laws–“utroque jure”–as he completed his postdoctoral degree at the Stefan Wyszyński Catholic University in Warsaw.[6] Completing his postdoctoral degree, Suchecki was lecturing for the Pontifical Theological Faculty of St. Bonaventure and the Pontifical University Antonianum in Rome. Then Father Suchecki postulated the beatification and canonization process of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński,[6] who was the Servant of God at that time[6]. Suchecki also specialized in criminal and constitutional law, as well as a member of the Parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Kamienna Góra. He currently resides in Rome.
