SCHWETZ, JOHANN BAPTIST. - Theologian, b. at Bosan in Moravia in 1803, d. at Vienna in 1890.
He taught dogmatic theology at Olmütz and at the University of Vienna. In 1863 he was appointed court parish priest and then provost of the Chapter of St. Stephen. He wrote: Theologia dogmatica catholica (2 vols., Vienna 1861; several times reissued and enlarged), a manual imposed in all the theological schools of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which, keeping clear of Josephinism and Güntherism, exercised a beneficial influence. Summoned to Rome in the period preceding the Vatican Council, he prepared lucid schemata on the errors of Günther, now edited and commented upon by L. Orbán, Theologia güntheriana et Conc. Vaticanum iuxta vota inedita consultoris J. B. S. (2 vols., Rome 1942 and 1949).
