Heribert Jone
Heribert Jone OFMCap (born January 30, 1885 as Joseph Jone in Schelklingen , Württemberg ; † December 25, 1967 in Stühlingen , Baden ) was a Roman Catholic religious (Capuchin), moral theologian and canon lawyer .
Life
Joseph Jone was the son of a town treasurer and a small farmer ( Sölden owner ). He entered the Capuchin Order in 1904 and was given the name Heribertus von Schelklingen . In the Order, he completed his philosophy and theology studies and received 1910 in Cologne the priesthood . A year later he began to study canon law at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome , but interrupted it to work as a missionary to the Carolines from 1913 to 1919 . After his return he continued his studies and received his doctorate in canon law (Dr. iur. Can.) In 1922. From 1924 to 1948 he taught morality and canon law at the religious school of the Capuchins in Münster . From 1925 he also worked as a synod judge at the marriage court of the Münster diocese .
His two main works, a commentary on the Codex Iuris Canonici (CIC) from 1917 and his handbook on Catholic moral theology , were widely used. His moral theological handbook, often referred to only as "the Jone" (first edition 1930, appeared in 18 editions until 1961, last reprint in 1964; translations into French, Dutch, Italian, English, Portuguese, Arabic) became a standard work for training and further education from clerics and theologians to the Second Vatican Council , and sometimes even beyond. It has had a lasting influence on the teaching of sexual morality in the Catholic Church, especially in the German-speaking area. In Graham Greene's novel Monsignor Quixote (1982) “the Jone” is addressed as “the epitome of moral authority”.
