Paul Clarence Schulte (March 18, 1890—February 17, 1984) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Archbishop of Indianapolis from 1946 to 1970.

Biography

Paul Schulte was born in Fredericktown, Missouri, and studied at Kenrick Seminary before being ordained to the priesthood on June 11, 1915. He was made vicar general of Indianapolis on February 13, 1910.

On May 29, 1937, Schulte was appointed Bishop of Leavenworth by Pope Pius XI. He received his episcopal consecration on the following September 21 from Archbishop John Glennon, with Bishops Christopher Byrne and Christian Winkelmann serving as co-consecrators, at the Cathedral of St. Louis.

Schulte was later named the second Archbishop of Indianapolis (eighth Bishop) on July 20, 1946. Archbishop Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, the Apostolic Delegate to the United States, formally installed him on October 10 of that same year. Schulte's tenure saw the Catholic population of Indianapolis rise from 44,000 to 92,000 over a twenty-year period. He also concentrated on building churches in new suburban areas of cities and expanding educational opportunities [Archdiocese of Indianapolis Collection, ca. 1934-1966. [http://www.indianahistory.org/library/manuscripts/collection_guides/P0410.html Historical Sketch] ] . When Fr. Raymond Bosler, former editor of the Indiana Catholic and record, wrote a scathing article about Pedro Cardinal Segura's attitude toward Protestants entitled "The Cardinal Called the Cops 400 Years Too Late," the Archbishop responded by saying, "I thought your headline was a little flippant" [TIME Magazine. [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,937408-2,00.html The Catholic Press] May 28, 1956] .

Schulte was appointed an Assistant at the Pontifical Throne on February 3, 1961, and attended the Second Vatican Council from 1962 to 1965. After twenty-three years of service, he resigned his post as Archbishop on January 3, 1970, the same date on which he was made Titular Archbishop of "Elicroca".

Schulte died at the St. Augustine Home for the Aged in Indianapolis, at the age of 93. He was buried five days later at the Calvary Chapel Mausoleum on February 22, 1984.
