Life
Vitus Erbermann grew up as a child of Lutheran parents in Rentweinsdorf in Lower Franconia, which was untouched by the Counter Reformation , but converted to the Catholic Church at a young age. In 1620 he joined the Jesuit order in Mainz . Later he was professor of theology in Würzburg, Fulda and Mainz for decades .
Erbermann developed a lively controversial theological writing activity and was in charge of formulating the Catholic no to the church union plans of Georg Calixt and Hermann Conring , which were based on a consensus quinquesaecularis ("consensus of the first five centuries"). He also dealt with two theologians from the University of Jena , the Orthodox Lutheran Johannes Musaeus and the former Jesuit Andreas Wigand , who had converted to the Lutheran Church and a former companion.
