Boudewijn Catz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boudewijn Catz or Cats (ca. 1601 - 18 May 1663) was apostolic vicar to the Dutch Mission from 1662 to 1663.

Life

Catz was born in Gorinchem. He served as vicar to the Diocese of Haarlem and, on the death of Jacobus de la Torre, passing over his coadjutor Johannes van Neercassel, Catz was made vicar apostolic on 31 May 1662. On 9 September 1662, in Cologne he was consecrated titular archbishop of Philippi.

He already seems to have been mentally weak at the time of his appointment as vicar apostolic and died insane in Leuven. During his whole time in office he was wholly guided by Van Neercassel, who succeeded him.
