| Theologian and philosopher, born in Rovereto, N Italy (formerly Austria). Ordained in 1821, he founded the Institute of the Fathers of Charity in 1828. He later developed an interest in political affairs, became an adviser to Pope Pius IX (1848), and worked for a federation of the Italian states under the pope as permanent president, embodied in his La constituzione secondo la giustizia sociale (1848, Constitution according to Social Justice). He fell into disfavour, and several of his works were prohibited in 1849 by the Congregation of the Index. |
