Bajus

Bajus, or De Bay, Michael, born at Melin, Hainault, in 1513, was educated at the University of Louvain, where he became professor of theology, and ultimately Chancellor. He was present at the Council of Trent, and incurred the hostility of the Jesuits by propounding the doctrines of Augustine in opposition to the orthodox scholastic theology. His views were condemned by two popes, and he made a nominal submission, but the Jansenists reasserted his teaching a little later. Bajus retained his post at Louvain, and died in 1589.
