Joseph Lukas (born June 16, 1834 in Ruhmannsfelden , † February 19, 1878 in Dalking ) was a Catholic clergyman and member of the Chamber of Deputies of the Bavarian State Parliament and the customs parliament .

biography

After graduating from the St. Michaels Gymnasium of the Benedictines in Metten , he attended the Lyceum in Regensburg , where he was ordained a priest in 1859. Then he was a military chaplain in Regensburg; in this function he also took part in the German War of 1866. As a pastor he worked first in Eggersberg and since 1873 Dalking near Cham.

Joseph Lukas was a member of the Customs Parliament from 1868 to 1870. In 1869 he was also elected as a member of the Bavarian state parliament for Straubing; after falling out with the patriotic party, however, he resigned his mandate in 1870.

As a polemical Catholic writer, he fought passionately against the state-imposed compulsory education and against the state school inspectorate, but found little approval for his extreme positions, even in Catholic circles. Although he himself worked for the Landshuter Zeitung for a long time and then at the Passauer Donau-Zeitung , he published an invective against the press, which also included Catholic newspapers.
