Mateusz Bembus

Mateusz Bembus (1567–1645) was a Polish Jesuit priest, writer, and professor of moral philosophy.[1] He was born in Poznan in 1567 and became a priest by 1596, after which he taught philosophy.[2] In 1612, he succeeded Piotr Skarga as the royal preacher for King Sigismund III Vasa.[3] After this role, he became rector of the Jesuit College in Poznan. During his career, he advocated against religious tolerance in the otherwise tolerant Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.[2][3] Antonio Possevino and Skarga were influences for Bembus.[1][2] He died in Krakow.
