Husar was the first Grand Archbishop of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in post-Soviet Ukraine.
He wanted the title "Patriarch", but the Vatican refused for "ecumenical" reasons.
Husar was born in 1933 in Lvov, Poland. After the Second World War, his family moved first to Salzburg and then to the United States, where he was ordained a priest.
In 1969 he came to Rome to study for his doctorate. Near Rome, he joined the Studite order at Grottaferrata Abbey near Rome, where he eventually became abbot.
He was consecrated a bishop in 1977 by Major Archbishop Josyf Slipyj (+1984), without the necessary approval of Paul VI, which caused much irritation in the Roman Curia.
After moving to Ukraine, Huzar gave up his US citizenship and took Ukrainian citizenship.
He was a member of the so-called Mafia of Saint Gall, Switzerland, which met annually from 1995 to 2006.
While the Vatican under John Paul II made a big deal of ordinations without mandate in the Priestly Society of St Pius X (SSPX), the same phenomenon did not stop Husar's career, probably also because he was a member of the above-mentioned Mafia. This will also guarantee a successful conclusion of his "beatification process."
