Timeline

1909

Giuseppe Lazzati (22 June 1909 – 18 May 1986) was an Italian Roman Catholic rector of the Sacred Heart college in Milan and a former parliamentarian.

He was also the founder of the Secular Institute of Christ the King.

Lazzati served as a professor and for a time served as a politician at the close of the Second World War despite initial hesitance in doing so.

He later resigned to further dedicate himself to his lecturing while instituting the Secular Institute of Christ the King to bring together men who wished to consecrate themselves to God though not as religious.

He was a collaborator of several well-known figures in Italian politics such as Giorgio La Pira and Aldo Moro while he maintained close relationships with Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II.

Giuseppe Lazzati was born on 22 June 1909 in Milan in the Porta Ticinese district as the fourth of eight to Carlo Lazzati and Angela Mezzanotte.

His baptism was celebrated on 25 June at the church of San Gottardo al Corso in Milan.

1915

Lazzati began his schooling in 1915 but had to stop in 1918 since his parents decided to move to Alassio in order for his father to recuperate from tuberculosis.

1920

He returned to Milan in 1920 for his high school studies and was considered to be a brilliant student in his Latin and Greek studies.

In his late adolescence he experienced the dramatic upheavals in Italian life in the period that followed the First World War with the violent rise to prominence of Fascism that Benito Mussolini led.

Since 1920 he attended meetings of the student association "Santo Stanislao" in Milan which had an influence on his religious formation.

1927

In 1927 he became a student in the department of Classical Literature of the Sacred Heart college in Milan which was under the direction of Father Agostino Gemelli; in 1931 he received his degree with the grade summa cum laude.

Professor Paolo Ubaldi was his mentor during the course of his education.

1931

In 1931 he arrived at a decision to remain celibate and to opt for a consecrated life in the world.

1934

In 1934 he embarked upon a career as a lecturer and also in 1934 became the president for the diocese of Milan of the Youth Branch of Catholic Action and remained in the post until 1945.

1939

In 1939 he was appointed to the grade of "docente incaricato" in Ancient Christian Literature also in 1939 founded under the name Milites Christi an organization for consecrated men which in 1969 assumed the name Secular Institute of Christ the King.

He did this with the support of Cardinal Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster.

1943

The outbreak of the Second World War saw Lazzati commissioned as a lieutenant in the Fifth Alpine Regiment in the Trent Division and in the wake of the 8 September 1943 Armistice of Cassibile - upon his refusal to swear allegiance to the Fascist puppet rump state known as the Italian Social Republic - he was arrested in Merano and interned in Nazi concentration camps.

He was interned first at Rum near Innsbruck in Austria then at Dęblin in Poland and then at Oberlangen as well as Sandbostel and Wietzendorf in the Nazi heartland.

He tried to comfort his fellow prisoners so as to make the experience a bit more bearable.

It was during this time he also collaborated with important political figures such as Aldo Moro and Amintore Fanfani.

1947

In 1947 he and Giuseppe Dossetti launched a political magazine entitled Cronache Sociali.

The end of his service in the parliament saw him he return to Milan where devoted his energies to the formation of men and women.

But another motivator for his retirement from politics was the retirement of his good friend Dossetti.

1958

Lazzati returned to lecturing from 1958 and during the storm of student upheavals was appointed to succeed Ezio Franceschini as the rector of the Sacred Heart college which turned into a position he held for five terms until 1983.

1985

Lazzati dedicated his retirement to find a path out of the profound crisis of Italian politics and he attempted to do this through the relaunching of a programme of political ideals through the foundation in 1985 of the association "Città dell'uomo" which served as a revival in large part of the post-war "Civitas Humana".

1986

Lazzati died in Milan in mid-1986 at Pentecost at the Capitanio Clinic.
