Charles Journet (26 January 1891 – 15 April 1975) was a Swiss Roman Catholic theologian and cardinal.
Journet has been considered a figure of holiness and his cause for canonisation is set to commence. This means that he shall be accorded the title Servant of God when the cause commences on a diocesan level.
Charles Journet was born in Geneva in 1891 as the son of Jean-Louis Journet and Jenny Bondat. He was baptized on the same day in the church of Sacré-Coeur and was to receive the sacrament of Confirmation on 12 June 1903 in the same church from Bishop Joseph Déruaz.
He studied at the seminary in Fribourg before being ordained to the priesthood on 15 July 1917. He then did pastoral work in the Diocese of Fribourg until 1924, and there taught at the seminary from 1924 to 1965. He established the theological journal "Nova et Vetera" in 1926.
Journet was raised to the rank of Domestic Prelate of His Holiness on 13 August 1946 by Pope Pius XII, gaining fame as a theologian.
On 15 February 1965, he was appointed as the Titular Archbishop of Furnos Minor by Pope Paul VI, and he received his episcopal consecration on the following 20 February from Bishop François Charrière, with Bishops Franz von Streng and Louis-Sevérin Haller serving as the co-consecrators.
