CLINGE (KLING), KONRAD. - German theologian, of the Conventual Franciscans, b. at Nordhausen (Thuringia) ca. 1483-84, d. at Erfurt on 10 March 1556. He received his doctorate in theology at the University of Erfurt (1520).

Guardian of that same convent, he carried out for 36 years the office of theologian and preacher, particularly in the Cathedral (1530), against the errors of the Lutherans; he converted many, but was opposed and slandered by others, and personally in two writings of Luther and of Menius. Among his writings: Loci communes theologici pro ecclesia catholica (Cologne 1559), Catechismus catholicus... (ibid. 1562, 1570), etc.
