Jędraszewski has been the Archbishop of Łódź, central Poland, since 2012.
A professor of theology, he is known in Łódź for hosting events called “Dialogues in the Cathedral,” where he answers questions on the Catholic faith and church.
He will succeed Cardinal Stanisław Dziwisz, 77 – formerly an aide to the late Polish-born Pope John Paul II – who is retiring after 11 years as Archbishop of Kraków. (vb/pk)
