SCHÄZLER, Konstantin von. - Neo-Thomist theologian, b. at Augsburg on 7 May 1827, d. at Interlaken on 19 Sept. 1880.
Of a noble Protestant family, he studied law and began a military career, which he interrupted in 1850; shortly afterward in Brussels he converted to Catholicism. At Louvain, where he did his theological studies, he entered the Society of Jesus (1851), which he left, already a priest (Liège 1856), in 1857. Having obtained his doctorate in theology at Munich (1859), he was professor of the history of dogmas at Fribourg in Switzerland (1862-73). Present at the Vatican Council as theologian of BishopFessler (v.), from 1873 he settled in Rome, where he carried on notable activity as consultor of various Congregations. In 1878 he re-entered the Society of Jesus.
He was one of the most resolute representatives of the Neo-Thomist movement in Germany, by which the following works are inspired: Die Lehre von der Wirksamkeit der Sakramente ex opere operato (Munich 1860); Das Dogma von der Menschwerdung Gottes im Geist des hl. Thomas dargestellt (Fribourg in Switzerland 1870); Divus Thomas contra liberalismum (Rome 1874). After 1863 he polemicized vigorously against Kuhn (v.), on the question, much agitated in Germany, of the relations between reason and faith, first in numerous anonymous articles in the Historisch-politische Blätter; then openly in the works: Natur und Übernatur (Mainz 1865); Gnade und Glaube (ibid. 1867). Posthumous are: the Introductio in S. Theologiam ad mentem D. Thomae (edited by T. Esser O. P., Regensburg 1882; with a preface on the life and works of S.) and Die Bedeutung der Dogmengeschichte (ibid. 1884).
