Life

As a conventual of the Heiligenkreuz Abbey , he developed a lively journalistic and writing activity. From 1895 he published his research into the history of his monastery in the Cistercian Chronicle and in the studies and communications from the Benedictine order . Other treatises on the history of the order dealt with Bernhard von Clairvaux .

When not writing on historical subjects or hagiography , Halusa devoted himself to subjects from pastoral theology and spirituality . The sacrament of confession (also the related public confession of the monks, the debt chapter ) and the Eucharist were often the subjects of his writings. In several small fonts, he devoted himself to exemplary reports from people who had converted to Catholicism.

Halusa was in contact with the Klosterneuburg canon Berthold Egger (1852-1891) and published articles and book reviews in Egger's correspondence sheet for the Catholic clergy in Austria .
