Biography

Gall was born in Warsaw; he begun attending the diocesan seminary in Warsaw in 1880.[1] He was later sent by Wincenty Teofil Popiel to the Pontifical Gregorian University in 1883 under a pseudonym, where he studied philosophy, theology and canon law. He obtained a doctorate in philosophy from the University in 1887. After returning to Poland, he was ordained a priest on 29 June 1887 by Kazimierz Ruszkiewicz.[2][3]

In 1889, Gall was appointed by Gall as a professor of liturgy and philosophy at the diocesan seminary of Warsaw; in 1890, he was made vice-regent of the seminary.[2] He was made vice-rector of the Saint Petersburg Roman Catholic Theological Academy in 1910.[3] He was appointed auxiliary bishop of Warsaw and titular bishop of Halicarnassus by Benedict XV in 1918; he was consecrated in St. John's Archcathedral by Aleksander Kakowski,[4] with assistance from Kazimierz Ruszkiewicz and Wojciech Owczarek.[3] He was later made vicar general of the Archdiocese of Warsaw by Kakowski.[5]

On 5 February 1919, Gall was appointed Bishop of the Military Ordinariate of Poland by Benedict XV, upon request from Józef Piłsudski; because of this, he was made a lieutenant general.[5] He served in this position until 12 March 1933, when he resigned from the diocese due to a long-standing conflict that he had with Piłsudski.[6] On 16 February 1933, Gall was appointed titular archbishop of Karpathos by Pius IX.[3]

After the death of Aleksander Kakowski, Gall was appointed vicar capitular of the Archdiocese of Warsaw on 5 January 1939; on 6 January 1940, he was appointed apostolic administrator of the Archdiocese by Pius XII.[6][5] During the German occupation, he provided the Vatican with information about what was occurring. He died on 11 September 1942 in Warsaw and was buried at a cemetery in Warsaw; his remains were transferred to the Field Cathedral of the Polish Army in 2018.[4]
