A. POSSEVINAS IR VILNIAUS UNIVERSITETAS

Žemaičių vyskupas, be to, siūlęs pagyvinti vadinamuosius atlaidus.

Kur kitatikiai yra atėmę iš katalikų senas bažnyčias, ten vyskupas siūlęsis

pastatyti naujas. Bet Possevinas pataręs vyskupui statyti naujas

ten, kur ponai nesipriešina, kad nebūtų nereikalingų sunkenybių. Ir priduria:

„Tikiu, kad uolusis Ganytojas darys, kiek tik gali, gero, jei tik

kas iš mūsiškių (jėzuitų) jam padėtų ne tiek pašnekesiais, kiek apgalvotu

ir veiksmingu apaštalavimu šį ne per sunkų uždavinį atlikti“. Išreiškia

viltį, kad tuometinis Vilniaus universiteto rektorius tėvas Garsijas

Alabianas tuo susidomės ir, kai reikės, tą reikalą sutvarkys. 7

Iš to laiško matome Posseviną kupiną visokių idėjų ir planų, sakytume,

visai modemiškai galvojantį: organizuoja Vertėjų seminariją, siūlo

naujus apaštalavimo būdus Žemaitijoje, net šiek tiek atsižvelgia į kitatikius,

nors šiandieninio ekumenizmo ten nebuvo nė šešėlio. Tame pačiame

laiške Possevinas duoda dar vieną mažą patarimą: kai jėzuitai

kunigai vyksta apaštalauti į tolimus užkampius, tenepamiršta su savimi

pasiimti agendą (knygelę, kurioje surašytos sakramentų teikimo maldos

ir apeigos su lietuviškais intarpais, ypačiai teikiant krikšto ir moterystės

sakramentus); jei ir negalės tų knygelių klebonams padovanoti,

teleidžia jiems tas maldas nusirašyti, kadangi lengvai galima pamiršti,

kai prieš akis neturima paties teksto. 8

cum erant, dixi, ut Vilnam rediens adduceret unum vel alterum lituanos adolescentes,

neque curaret nisi legere scirent. His enim quasi praecursoribus via

huius negotii antequam Vilna discedam me Deo volente complanaturum“, ARSI,

Opp. NN. 325, fol. 55v.

7 „Et bonus Episcopus cum pergeret proponere alteram iuvandae Samogitiae

rationem, nimirum ut temporibus iis quibus rustici convenire solent ad eas

quas qui vocant Indulgentias, averterentur ad [fol. 56r] templa catholica, quae

ille curaret excitari, cum vetera haeretici nobiles usurpaverint, et eo rustici

irent. Respondi, videri satius, si iis in locis templa extruerentur, ubi nobiles

vicini facessere nullum negotium possent, ac declinarentur difficultates tantisper,

dum catholica res latius promota sibimet ipsa aditum ulterius sterneret.

Credo probum Antistitem nihil non effecturum boni, si aliquos e nostris nancisceretur,

qui non colloquiis, sed methodo et compendio ista factu non difficillima

promoveant. Et P. Garsias haec forsan gustabit et suo tempore curabit“,

ARSI, Opp. NN. 325, fol. 55v-56r.
