Life
Joseph-Xavier Hornstein came from the Swiss Jura . His parents were the landowners Xavier Hornstein and Marie-Agathe-Catherine nee. Henselin. He studied philosophy in Feldkirch and theology in Innsbruck, Munich and Solothurn and was ordained a priest on July 19, 1863 . After that he was secretary of the episcopal chancellery, from 1864 parish dean of Pruntrut . From 1874 to 1875 he was in exile in Delle . In 1883 and 1884 he was a member of the Bern Constitutional Council. Hornstein founded the journal Union du Jura in 1883 with a liberal Catholic tendency, which appeared until 1887. He strove to detach the Jura from the diocese of Basel and, because of its policy of reaching an understanding with the canton of Bern , was in conflict with the conservative part of Jura Catholicism.
On March 31, 1896, Pope Leo XIII appointed him Archbishop of Bucharest. The episcopal ordination donated him on October 18, 1896 Victor Cardinal Lécot , the Archbishop of Bordeaux ; Co - consecrators were the Abbot Bishop of Saint-Maurice , Joseph Paccolat CRA, and the Bishop of Iași , Dominic Jaquet OFMConv .
