SCHULTES, REGINALD. - Dominican theologian, b. at Peterzell (canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland) on 11 Feb. 1873, d. in Rome on 20 Feb. 1928. From 1899 to 1910 he was a professor and preacher at Graz. From that date until his death, except for the period of the First World War, he taught theology at the Angelicum Athenaeum in Rome, specializing in the history of dogmas, in which his views, although not shared by everyone, are of particular interest.

Among his writings, mention should be made of: Reue und Bussabramen (Paderborn 1906); Die Urgeschichte der Menschheit nach der III. Schrift (Graz 1908); Wunder und Christentum. Konferenzen (ibid. 1909); Die Gottheit Christi. Konferenzen (ibid. 1910); Die unfehlbare Kirche (ibid. 1911); the much-debated Introductio in historiam dogmatum (Paris 1922), preceded by De definibilitate conclusionum theologicarum, in La ciencia tomista, 23-24 (1921), pp. 305-53 and followed by Eclaircissements sur l'évolution du dogme, in Revue des sciences phil. et théol., 14 (1925), pp. 286-302; the well-known treatise De Ecclesia catholica (Paris 1925; 2nd ed. ibid. 1931).
