Zirkoff, Boris

Lacroix, Claude. Jesuit moralist, b. at Dahlem, Luxemburg, April 7, 1652; d. at Köln, June 1, 1714. Taught for three years philosophy at Köln, and moral theology at Münster. He is the author of *Theologia moralis ... nunc pluribus partibus aucta a C. la Croix (Index by L. Collendal), 9 vols., Coloniae Agrippinae, 1707-14, and 1733, etc. (British Museum, 850. g. 1.), which is mainly a commentary on the chief work of H. Busembaum, Medulla, etc. The Lyons edition of Lacroix’s work, prepared by F. Montauzon, 1729, who made several additions to it, was reprinted, 1757, 2 vols. fol. The Jansenists took occasion to denounce a number of propositions found in it, concerning regicide, homicide, and the deriving of profit by inciting to crime; as a result of this, the work was burnt in public, together with some other Jesuit writings.
