HOSIUS, STANISLAUS (15041579)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 790 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HOSIUS, STANISLAUS (15041579) , Polish cardinal, was born in Cracow on the 5th of May 1504. He studied law at Padua and Bologna, and entering the
church
  became in 1549
bishop
  of
Kulm
 , in 1551
bishop
  of Ermland, and in 1561 cardinal. Hosius had Jesuit sympathies and actively opposed the
Protestant
  reformation, going so far as to desire a repetition of the St Bartholomew massacre in Poland, Apart from its being " the' property of the Roman
Church
 ," he regarded the Bible as having no more worth than the fables of
Aesop
 . Hosius was not distinguished as a theologian, though he drew up the Confessio fidei chrisliana catholica adopted by the synod of
Piotrkow
  in 1557. He was, however, supreme as a diplomatist and
administrator
 . Besides carrying through many difficult negotiations, he founded the lyceum of Braunsberg, which became the centre of the Roman Catholic mission among Protestants. He died at Capranica near Rome on the 5th of August 1579.
A collected edition of his works was published at Cologne in 1584.
