Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BOOS, MARTIN (17621825) , German Roman Catholic theologian, was born at Huttenried in Bavaria on the 25th of December 1762. Orphaned at the age of four, he was reared by an uncle at Augsburg, who finally sent him to the university of Dillingen. There he laid the
foundation
  of the modest piety by which his whole
life
  was distinguished. After serving as priest in several Bavarian towns, he made his way in 1799 to
Linz
  in Austria, where he was welcomed by
Bishop
 
Gall
 , and set to
work
  first at Leonding and then at Waldneukirchen, becoming in ,8o6 pastor at Gallneukirchen. His pietistic
movement
  won considerable way among the Catholic laity, and even attracted some fifty or sixty priests. The death of
Gall
  and other powerful friends, however, exposed him to
bitter
  enmity and persecution from about 1812, and he had to answer endless accusations in the consistorial courts. His enemies followed him when he returned to Bavaria, but in 1817 the Prussian government appointed him to a professorship at Dusseldorf, and in 1819 gave him the pastorate at Sayn near Neuwied. He died on the 29th of August 1825.
