Das gibt mir, muß mir geben ein ruhiges Gefühl der Sicherheit. Wie beten wir füreinander.“ 4. Dezember 1937 Foto IKLK-Archiv | Familie Leisner | oben links Elisabeth, Mutter Amalia, Paula, Willi | unten links Maria, Vater Wilhelm, Karl Kindheit und Jugend in seiner Heimatstadt Kleve Karl Leisner schätzt und liebt seine Eltern Amalia und Wilhelm Leisner sowie seine Geschwister Wilhelm, Maria, Paula und Elisabeth. In seinem Elternhaus erfährt er Geborgenheit, Sicherheit und die Liebe zum katholischen Glauben. Seine Jugend wird überschattet durch die politischen Ereignisse nach der Machtergreifung Adolf Hitlers. Mit seinem Vater diskutiert er oft kontrovers die schwierigen politischen Verhältnisse vor 1933, wobei er das durch den Nationalsozialismus kommende Unheil bereits voraussieht und dessen Feindschaft dem christlichen Glauben und der Kirche gegenüber klar erkennt.

Der junge Gymnasiallehrer, der die Fächer Religion, Sport, Hebräisch und Französisch unterrichtet, erkennt früh die Begabungen, Interessen und Führungsfähigkeiten seines Foto IKLK-Archiv | Dr. Walter Vinnenberg Schülers und schenkt ihm großes Vertrauen. Er überträgt ihm die Verantwortung als Gruppen- führer und später als Bezirksjungscharführer für die Vierzehnjährigen in den Dekanaten Kleve und Goch. Karl Leisner wird zum Schriftführer der Gruppe St. Werner gewählt, verfasst die Gruppenchronik und entwickelt dadurch die Freude, Tagebuch zu schreiben. Die Treffen fi nden in der Mühle auf der Merowingerstraße in Kleve statt. Walter Vinnenberg ermöglicht Kontakte u.a. zum Dichter Augustin Wibbelt und dem der bildnerischen Kunst zugewandten Pfarrer von Kloster Marienthal Augustinus Winkelmann. Die Jungen leben gemäß der christlichen Leitidee der Jugend- bewegung. Gebet und Eucharistiefeier gehören zum Gruppen- leben, ebenso der Verzicht auf Alkohol und Nikotin. Durch das Vertrauen, das der Lehrer seinem Schüler Karl schenkt, wächst eine tiefe Freundschaft, die bedeutend für Karls Persönlichkeitsentwicklung ist.

Dort wird er am 9. November 1939 wegen seiner Bemerkung zum fehlgeschlagenen Attentat des Schreiners Georg Elser auf Adolf Hitler im Bürgerbräukeller in München als 24-jähriger verhaftet. Er wird in das Gefängnis in Freiburg eingeliefert. Danach folgt der Aufenthalt im Gefängnis in Mannheim und die Haft in den Konzentrationslagern Sachsenhausen und Dachau. Im KZ Dachau wurden auf Befehl des Reichsführers SS Heinrich Himmler die inhaftierten Priester und evangelischen Geistlichen aus den gesamten von den Deutschen besetzten Gebieten zusammengefasst.

Dort gibt es für die Priester auf Befehl Heinrich Himmlers eine Sonderregelung. In der Lagerkapelle des KZ, im Priesterblock 26 dürfen sie Eucharistie feiern. Die Inhaftierung des französischen Bischofs von Clermont, Gabriel Piguet, macht es möglich, dass Karl Leisner am 17. Dezember 1944 mit Erlaubnis seines Diözesanbischofs Clemens August Graf von Galen und des für ihn im KZ zuständigen Erzbischofs von München und Freising, Michael Kardinal von Faulhaber, unter strengster Geheimhaltung und Todesgefahr für alle Beteiligten zum Priester geweiht wird. Karl Leisners Freund, Pater Otto Pies SJ, plant gemeinsam mit anderen Häftlingen unter strengster Geheimhaltung die Priesterweihe. uti primam - uti unicam - uti ultimam Seine erste, einzige und letzte heilige Messe, die Primiz, feiert der vom Tode gezeichnete Karl Leisner am 26. Dezember 1944 in Anwesenheit zahlreicher Priesterhäftlinge aus den besetzten Ländern Europas. Darunter war auch ein evangelischer Geistlicher.

Die Freundschaft zwischen ihnen gab beiden Kraft und Zuversicht in der Hoffnungslosigkeit. Ohne die wagemutige Initiative von Otto Pies wäre Karl Leisner nicht zum Priester geweiht worden.

Otto Pies schreibt in seinem Buch ‚Stephanus heute – Karl Leisner Priester und Opfer’: „Der Besitz des gemeinsamen Spindes und die Verantwortung für seine Pfl ege und Sauberkeit, was damals eine wichtige Rolle spielte, gab den Anlaß zu einer tieferen Gemeinschaft und Schicksalsverbundenheit, die mir diesen jungen, wertvollen Menschen nahebrachte und mich in sein Leben hineinschauen ließ, wie es wenigen vergönnt war.“ Am 4. Mai 1945, dem Fest der hl. Monika, befreit Otto Pies seinen Freund aus dem unter Quarantäne stehenden Lager. Karl Leisner verbringt die letzten Wochen seines Lebens im Waldsanatorium Planegg bei München. Otto Pies begleitet seinen Freund bis zu dessen Tod am 12. August 1945.

Skôr ako nadíde deň spravodlivosti, ľuďom bude dané znamenie na nebi. Zhasne všetko svetlo na nebi a bude veľká tma po celej zemi.

    John Paul II's Canonisation Policy

    Le pontificat romain dans l’époque contemporaine The Papacy in the Contemporary Age sous la direction de | edited by Giovanni Vian John Paul II’s Canonisation Policy Valentina Ciciliot (Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia) Abstract During his pontificate John Paul II proclaimed 1342 beati and 482 saints, such a large amount that it accounts for more than half of the sanctifications across the entirety of Catholicism stretching back to the Congregation of Rites (1588). Along with such fruitful use of sanctification came a certain planning that was not only pastoral in nature, but also political, in the broadest sense of the term. The essay aims to analyse how under John Paul II’s pontificate the traditional concept of holiness began to mutate, taking on multiple functions, while its concrete manifestations – beatifica- tions and canonisations – became active instruments of ecclesiastical government.

Catholic Church. 1 The Reform Legal System Relating to Canonisations The reforming of the legal structure regulating sanctity decreed by John Paul II in 1983 with the apostolic constitution Divinus perfectionis Ma- gister1 was aimed at adapting the system to the papal plans regarding canonisation activities, and mainly consisted of reducing the length of the beatification and canonisation causes, in this way incentivizing, multiply- ing and updating them.2 In fact, the examination of the new canonical process brought a number of important issues to light. Above of all, the reform significantly accelerated the carrying out of procedures, due to both the amalgamation of the ordinary apostolic processes and the halv- ing of the number of miracles to be beatified and canonized, reduced to one for each.
