Friedrich Staphylus

Friedrich Staphylus (born August 27, 1512 in Osnabrück , † March 5, 1564 in Ingolstadt ) was a German Lutheran and Roman Catholic theologian.

Life

Lüdeken Stapellage's son and his wife Anna Birkmann were orphaned at an early age. His uncle Eberhard Birkmann therefore took over his upbringing, after which he moved to Danzig. He later continued his education in Lithuania , where he learned the Lithuanian and Russian languages . He began his first studies at the University of Krakow , where he improved his knowledge of the Polish language. He continued philosophical and theological studies in 1530 at the University of Padua . In 1533 he returned to Danzig . In 1536 he continued his studies at the University of Wittenberg , where he was the best graduate on May 8, 1541, and was admitted to the Senate of the Philosophical Faculty on October 18, 1543.

On the recommendation of Philipp Melanchthon , he was appointed professor of theology at the University of Königsberg in 1546 as the successor to the late Stanislaus Rapagelanus . As an initially Orthodox representative of the Protestant concept of teaching, he got into a dispute with Wilhelm Gnapheus , who was eventually removed from university service and expelled from Prussia. In the winter semester of 1547/48 he was rector of the University of Königsberg , but could not meet the expectations placed on him. In the autumn of 1548 he therefore gave up his theological lectures. However, he remained in Königsberg as a councilor to Duke Albrecht of Prussia .

An epidemic caused him to leave Konigsberg. He went to Breslau , where he married Anna, daughter of Johann Hess , on October 19, 1549 . In 1550 he returned to Königsberg, where he got into a momentous dispute with Andreas Osiander . This prompted him to submit his farewell to the Duke's court in 1551 and to move to Danzig in 1552, where he wrote Synodus sanctorum patrum antiquorum contra nova dogmata Andreae Osiandri (Nuremberg 1553), which is in Roman Catholic tradition . He returned to Breslau, where he fully converted to Catholicism in 1553. He then went into the service of Bishop Balthasar von Promnitz in Neisse , where he campaigned for the establishment of a Catholic seminary .

From 1555 he worked as consul Ferdinand I in the imperial religious policy and as such took part in the Worms Religious Discussion in 1557 . He knew how to use the internal disputes in the Evangelical Church for himself. He had subsequently published very polemical writings against the Protestants. After he had also participated in the Council of Trent , in 1558 the Bavarian Duke Albrecht V of Bavaria (1528–1579) appointed him to the council, he received his doctorate in theology on May 19, 1559 in Augsburg on the basis of a papal directive . As such, he was appointed professor at the University of Ingolstadt to teach history, humanities and theology. He arrived in Ingolstadt in May 1560. Here he participated in the reform of the Jesuit university as superintendent and established himself in the burgeoning Counter-Reformation. For this he received the approval of the Pope and was ennobled by the Emperor on July 15, 1562.
