SUROWIECKI Karol

LETTER OF THE PROVINCIAL

TO THE WARSAW PHILOSOPHER

SUROWIECKI Karol-an avid opponent of Freemasonry, author of the work "Mysteries of Massonia profaned" and translator of Barruel's "History of Jacobinism".

"Ahammer on the marmots - deists, atheists, pharisees and enlightenmentists...
Perhaps not so much a philosopher in the strict sense of the word, but rather an apologist, tripping over philosophical issues, was from the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the last century the notorious Fr. Karol Surowiecki."

"When a pamphlet appeared in 1810: On the importance of the clerical power next to the secular one - published in Nos. 48, 49, 50, 52, 53 of "Gazeta Korrespondenta Warszawskiego" 1817 by P. S. (could it be Potocki Stanislaw?), in which the author argued for the superiority of the secular power over the clerical one, Surowiecki responded with a pamphlet: Letter of a Provincial to a Warsaw Philosopher - in Vilna 1817, refuting the errors contained in that pamphlet, and the following year he published a book: Eclectic Cold-Blooded Philosopher Standing as a Mediator Toward the Completion of the Murderous Fight Between Two Avid Logicians: Peripatetic under the name of the Village Plebeian, and Neoteric under the title of "Copernican Rival." By W. P. M. N. N. of the Year 1818; the book deals with the repudiation of the thesis that secular authority is superior to clerical authority...." Source: ultramontes.pl
