Carl Lampert (9 January 1894 – 13 November 1944) was an Austrian Roman Catholic priest who served as the pro-vicar for the Diocese of Feldkirch in addition to being an outspoken critic of Nazism during World War II.

[1] 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.

[1][2] Lampert commenced his studies for the priesthood in 1914 in Brixen and received his ordination from Bishop Franz Eggar on 12 May 1918 during World War I; he celebrated his first Mass on 26 May 1918.

In 1940 he attempted in vain to secure the release of Fr Otto Neururer and when he was killed Lampert published an obituary in a church newsletter for him.

[1] The beatification process commenced on 5 September 1997 under Pope John Paul II and granted Lampert the title Servant of God.

The process was validated on 14 March 2008 and allowed for the drafting of the Positio - documenting his life and reasons for how he died in hatred of the faith - which was submitted to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in 2009.
