BROCARTS (BROCARDUS), NIKOLAUS. - Carmelite theologian, b. at Sittard on 21 Aug. 1687, d. at Worms on 29 Sept. 1760. He taught philosophy and theology in the schools of his Order and in the abbey of St. Martin near Trier. He held various offices, up to that of commissary general for his province. He dealt with theological and moral subjects, taking an active part in the questions being agitated around Quesnel.
He declared himself openly opposed to him, attacking him in the work: Dissertatio polemica de primatu, iurisdictione, infallibilitate et superioritate tam inter quam extra Concilium Generale Romani Pontificis (Trier 1719). In it the propositions of Quesnel that fell under the censure of Rome are explicitly examined. He also wrote: De Bulla « Unigenitus » et nullitate appellationis ad futurum Concilium generale (ibid. 1719); Theologia moralis fundamentalis (Cologne 1735); Alphabetum morale (ibid. 1739); Professio fidei catholicae (Frankfurt 1758).
