Description
Frederic Nausea, bishop of Vienna, was a wagonmaker's son from Franconia who rose through learning to the Council of Trent. Born around 1480, he studied at Bamberg, Pavia, Padua, and Siena, taking degrees in law and divinity, then served Cardinal Campeggio as secretary at diets across Germany. Driven from Frankfurt by Lutheran riots, he preached at Mainz and became court preacher to King Ferdinand.
Named coadjutor of Vienna in 1538 and bishop in 1541, Nausea worked for reunion with the Lutherans, even asking Rome to allow married clergy and the communion cup for the laity. He reached Trent only in 1551, spoke chiefly on the sacraments, and died there of fever within the year. His writings range from sermons and a catechism to a treatise on the resurrection.
