Life

Marinus Brockie was born in Edinburgh in 1687 as the son of George Brockies and his wife Isabel Farquharson. He spent his childhood in Arbroath and in 1705 went to Regensburg . He studied philosophy in the Franciscan monastery in Regensburg and then theology in the monastery of Sankt Emmeram . He took his religious vows in the Schottenkloster Regensburg in 1708 and studied theology at the University of Erfurt from 1711 . Two years later he was ordained a priest . After he had finished his studies on November 7, 1714, he initially held philosophical lectures until he became a full professor of philosophy in Erfurt on 1717 . Appointed prior of the Erfurt Schottenkloster in 1719 , he turned against Jansenists and Jesuits , so that they were hostile to Brockie. He campaigned against them especially at the University of Erfurt, as a result of which the Jesuit Anton Gruber had to leave the university. To end the arguments, Brockie was sent to Scotland in 1727. Although he came back to Regensburg four years later, he did not return to Scotland much later. With five other Scottish Catholic theologians, he finally moved back to Regensburg in 1739. In the next few years he wrote several works. The abbot at the time, Stuart, was very active against Brockie, but even after Brockie died in 1753, the dispute did not end. This strained Brockie physically but also mentally, and finally he died on December 2, 1755 of the consequences of a stroke .
