Charles Journet (26 January 1891 – 15 April 1975) was a Swiss Roman Catholic theologian and cardinal. Journet has been considered a figure of holiness and his cause for canonisation is set to commence. This means that he shall be accorded the title Servant of God. ==Life== Born in Geneva, Charles Journet studied at the seminary in Fribourg before being ordained to the priesthood on July 15, 1917. He then did pastoral work in the Diocese of Fribourg until 1924, and there taught at the seminary from 1924 to 1965. Journet was raised to the rank of Domestic Prelate of His Holiness on August 13, 1946. On February 15, 1965, he was appointed Titular Archbishop of ''Furnos Minor'' by Pope Paul VI, and received his episcopal consecration on the following February 20 from Bishop François Charrière, with Bishops Franz von Streng and Louis-Sevérin Haller serving as co-consecrators. In the consistory two days later, on February 22, he was one of the three European theologians elevated to the College of Cardinals by Pope Paul, becoming Cardinal Deacon of ''S. Maria in Portico''. Although he only attended the last session of the Second Vatican Council in 1965, Journet was nevertheless a rather influential figure at the Council. He supported the documents ''Dignitatis humanae'' and ''Nostra aetate'', and affirmed the Church's traditional teaching on divorce.〔TIME Magazine. (New Thinking on Divorce ) March 18, 1966〕 Journet was a close friend of Jacques Maritain, with whom he founded the theological journal ''Nova et Vetera'' in 1926. A supporter of Socialist leader Miguel Arraes, the Cardinal protested his imprisonment by the Brazilian military in the 1960s.〔TIME Magazine. (Hard Blow for the Hard Line ) April 30, 1965〕 Journet lost the right to participate in any future papal conclave when he reached 80 on January 26, 1971, but served as Protodeacon from the following August 10 until he opted to become Cardinal Priest of the same title on March 5, 1973. His most famous work is considered to be ("The Church of the Word Incarnate" ). He is also seen as the mentor of Cardinal Georges Cottier. Journet died in Fribourg, at the age of 84. He is buried in the ''Chartreuse de la Valsainte'', in Gruyères. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Journet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
