Carl Lampert (1894–1944)

Born 1894 CE, died 1944 CE.

Carl Lampert (9 January 1894 – 13 November 1944) was an Austrian Catholic priest who served as the pro-vicar for the Diocese of Feldkirch and was an outspoken critic of Nazism during World War II. This led to constant surveillance against him and his eventual arrests on several occasions. This culminated with his final arrest in 1943 and eventual execution by guillotine in 1944 alongside another Christian prisoner. He was declared to have been killed "in odium fidei" (in hatred of the faith) and was beatified on 13 November 2011 in Austria; Cardinal Angelo Amato presided over it on the behalf of Pope Benedict XVI, who had approved the cause.
