Cornelius Loos (1546 – February 3, 1595), also known as Cornelius Losaeus Callidius, was a Roman Catholic priest, theologian, and professor of theology, and was the first Catholic official to write publicly against the witch trials then raging throughout Europe. For this, he was imprisoned and forced under torture to recant; his work was confiscated and suppressed by church officials, and the manuscript was lost for almost 300 years.

Famous quotes containing the word loos:
“When I was very young and first worked in Hollywood, the films had bred in me one sole ambition: to get away from them; to live in the great world outside movies; to meet people who created their own situations through living them; who ad-libbed their own dialogue; whose jokes were not the contrivance of some gag writer.”
—Anita Loos (1888–1981)
