Biography
Károly Hornig was born in Budapest, Austrian Empire, to a noble family. He received the Sacrament of Confirmation in 1853. He attended the Seminary in Budapest, and received the clerical tonsure and the minor orders on November 20, 1859. Becoming a subdeacon on July 23, 1862 and a deacon two days later on July 25, Hornig was studying at the Augustineum Imperial College in Vienna (1862-1866) when he was ordained to the priesthood on December 14, 1862. He obtained a doctorate in theology on November 25, 1869 from the Royal University of Budapest, where he also taught biblical studies from 1862 to 1869.
Hornig served as private secretary to Cardinal János Simor of Esztergom during the First Vatican Council (1869-1870), and then as Rector of the Budapest seminary from 1870 to 1878. He was named a cathedral canon as well, and was director of the archiepiscopal chancery of Esztergom from 1878 to 1888. Following his creation as Privy Chamberlain of His Holiness ad honorem, Hornig was named titular abbot of the monastery of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Babolcha. He was also a Counselor to the ministries of Worship and Public Instruction from 1882 to 1888.
On July 1, 1888, Hornig was appointed Bishop of Veszprém by Pope Leo XIII. He received his episcopal consecration on the following September 8 from Cardinal Simor, with Bishops Janos Zalka and Kornel Hidasy serving as co-consecrators.
Pope Pius X created him Cardinal Priest of Sant'Agnese fuori le mura in the consistory of December 2, 1912. Hornig was one of the cardinal electors who participated in the 1914 papal conclave, which selected Pope Benedict XV. On December 30, 1916, he crowned King Károl I and Queen Zita of Hungary.
Cardinal Hornig died in Veszprém, at age 76, and is buried in the cathedral of the same city.
