Carlo Passengeria

Carlo Passengeria, 1863.

Carlo Passasslia (March 2, 1812 in Lucca , † March 12, 1887 in Turin ) was an Italian theologian and Jesuit .

Life

In 1827, at the age of 15, passaglia entered the Jesuit order as a novice . He studied a. a. in Rome at the Pontifical Gregorian University and became a professor there in 1844.

In the papal bull Ineffabilis Deus ("The Ineffable God"), Pope Pius IX proclaimed . on December 8, 1854, the dogma of the Immaculate Conception ; Passasslia created the basis of this bull through extensive preparatory work. Only a few months later, Passasslia published his work De immaculato deiparae semper virginis conceptu for the "Immaculate Conception" . With his pamphlet Pro causa italica ad episcopos catholicos , published anonymously in 1860, Passengeria caused even more sensation, since in it he declared the worldly power of the Pope to be dangerous for the Church.

The Curia made sure that this pamphlet was placed on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum and that Passengeria had to leave his order. When passaglia was threatened with arrest after his teaching activity was banned, he went into exile in Turin . There he was entrusted with a teaching position in moral philosophy as early as 1861. As a professor at the University of Turin , Passengeria acted from 1862 to 1866 as the editor in charge of the magazine Mediatore . In it he waged a violent struggle against the secular power of the curia until he publicly revoked it.

Carlo Passasslia died on March 12, 1887 in Turin at the age of almost 75.
