He was born in Freiwaldau (now Jeseník in the Czech Republic) on the 15th of August, 1845. He was educated in the Jesuit College in Metz and joined the Jesuit Order in 1862. In 1870 he co-edited ‘Tygodnik Soborowy’, a paper then controlled by the leading Polish ultramontanist the Rev. Zygmunt Golian. Morawski shared his belief that it was necessary to oppose the contemporary progressive currents that were gaining popularity also among Catholics; and equally fiercely did he defend the dogma of Papal Infallibility whose promulgation provoked a great debate among both the ecclesiastics and laymen. Morawski presented his standpoint also in the columns of ‘Przegląd Lwowski’. In 1873-1879 he was a professor at the Jesuit College in Stara Wieś. In 1879 he assumed the post of the headmaster of the boarding school in Ternopil, and then of its rector. In 1883 he was transferred to Kraków. He was the founder and first editor-in-chief of ‘Przegląd Powszechny’, one of the most important Polish magazines from the turn of the 19th century. In 1887 he began to lecture at the Jagiellonian University where he was full professor (from 1891) and dean of the Department of Theology (1894-1895). He died in Kraków on the 6th of May, 1901. His published works include Filozofia i jej zadanie (1877), Podstawy etyki i prawa (1891), Wieczory nad Lemanem (1893), Katechizm mniejszy (1888), Katechizm większy (1888), and Dogmat łaski – 19 wykładów o porządku nadprzyrodzonym (1924).
