Diplomatic post of the Holy See
The Apostolic Nuncio to Poland is one of the oldest
nuncios , appointed by the
Pope as apostolic representative to the
Roman Catholic Church in Poland . Three nuncios to Poland went on to be elected pope. Three were
cardinals at the time of their appointment as nuncio, and the rest—with the sole exception of
Filippo Cortesi —were elevated afterwards.

Apostolic Delegates were consecutively appointed, although without the diplomatic privileges:
