Paul Clarence Schulte

Paul Clarence Schulte (March 18, 1890 – February 17, 1984) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church.

After graduating from St. Francis Solanus College in Quincy, Illinois in 1912, he returned to Missouri and studied at Kenrick Seminary in St. Louis.

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.

Raymond Bosler, former editor of the Indiana Catholic and Record, wrote a scathing article about Cardinal Pedro Segura's attitude toward Protestants entitled "The Cardinal Called the Cops 400 Years Too Late," Schulte responded by saying, "I thought your headline was a little flippant".

St. Patrick's Parish in Terre Haute, Indiana, operated a small high school for a number of years.

Joseph Beechem was the principal; the faculty consisted of six nuns and five secular teachers, in addition, an assistant pastor from each of the Terre Haute parishes taught religion.
