: The ecclesiastical dignitary Jakob Ernst von Lichtenstein­‑Castelcorno (1690–1747) successively served as Bishop in Seckau, Styria (1728–1738) and Olomouc, Moravia (1738– 1745). He completed his career as Archbishop of Salzburg (1745–1747). He was very active in pastoral work, which was central to all his episcopal ministries, in all three positions. He was also willing to work in other dioceses when necessary. During his trip to the spa in Trenčianské Teplice (today’s Slovakia), he, for example, consecrated a church in the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary. As the resident Bishop, Ernst Jakob reserved for himself the conferring of all degrees of priestly ordination, the consecration of churches and the confirmation of the faithful. He ordained a total of 2,599 priests. He consecrated 70 churches and chapels. He consecrated 330 altars and confirmed 357,372 people. His contemporaries did similar things. Jakob Ernst sought to fulfill the ideas of the Council of Trent concerning the role of the Bishop as the “good shepherd” of his faithful.
