Juan Bautista de Poza

Juan Bautista de Poza (* 1588 in Bilbao , † February 6, 1659 in Cuenca , Ecuador ) was a Spanish theologian, philosopher and Jesuit .

The son of the jurist Andrés de Poza graduated from in 1603 the novitiate i n Alcalá de Henares . In the Jesuit way, he took on more and more demanding teaching tasks as a professor: first grammar and philosophy at the College of Madrid , then theology at the Complutense in Alcalá and finally the Holy Scriptures in Murcia and Madrid. He wrote a lot of works on various topics of mariology , philosophy, medicine and geography. His work Práctica de ayudar a bien morir (practical help for good dying) experienced 12 editions in different languages ​​and gave him a Europe-wide reputation. He also published a Rhetoricae compendium (Madrid 1615). The Jesuits wanted to raise their college in Madrid ( Colegio Imperial de Madrid ) near the king to a university, but this met with resistance in Dominican- ruled Salamanca and was condemned by Rome in 1632. The Spanish court preacher Franciscus Roales Muňoz declared all of Poza's writings heretical, but Poza was deposed as professor only after the overthrow of his patron, the Duke of Olivares , in 1643. He had written a treatise on the Virgin Mary Elucidarium Deiparae (Lyon 1627), which the Inquisition put on the index after a condemnation by the Sorbonne . He taught that in the Lord's Supper the legs, the flesh and blood of Mary would also be enjoyed. In other writings he probably opposed Pope Urban VIII , which was astonishing for a Jesuit. Because of this, he seems to have finally lost his chair and was sent to the Jesuit college in Cuenca (Ecuador) , where he lived until his death in 1659. He is considered a forerunner of the innovators of the 17th century in the Jesuit order.

Leibniz still knew Poza's doctrine of Mary and mentioned it in his letter of 4/14. August 1683 with Landgrave Ernst von Hessen-Rheinfels disparagingly "extravagant".
