Archbishop-Emeritus Francis B. Schulte died Sunday night. He came to New Orleans from Philadelphia as an educator who would oversee the sweeping change in catholic education in New Orleans and major changes in the makeup of the archdiocese itself.He was a man whose middle name was actually Bible, by virtue of his mother."I was baptized with her maiden name as well as my father's name, Francis Bible Schulte," Schulte said in a 2003 interview with WLAE-TV.Schulte was a man who lived up to his name. He came to New Orleans from Philadelphia in 1989, heading into the new millennium and finding a city in the midst of change.But in New Orleans, Schulte said he found similarities in both culture and religion."The day I was installed, I walked out of the cathedral, somebody handed me a Mardi Gras umbrella," he said in 2003. "I knew immediately what to do with it, because in Philadelphia, they have something called the Mummer's Strut, and actually, the Mummer's Strut is actually more complicated, because you have to do it half the time backwards."Schulte would face his share of challenge and controversy. During his tenure, a number of parishes would merge or close completely as the area's catholic population shifted.Quietly, behind the scenes, Schulte made sure the church followed and tended the flock."The church has to follow them where they go," he told WDSU-TV in 2001. "We're not really just supposed to be tending to buildings all the time. We have to tend to people. We have to respect the buildings and try to take good care of the buildings, but our ministry is to people and where the people are, the church has to follow them there."During Schulte's leadership, there were several milestones. Katharine Drexel would become Saint Katharine and Father Francis Seelos would be beatified.There would also be challenge. Schulte would deal with national dilemmas, including the decline in the number of men joining the priesthood and the unfolding priest sex scandals.But present Archbishop Gregory Aymond said Schulte relied on prayer, scripture, and skill."He was also a great administrator," said Aymond. "He was a man of deep prayer, was very concerned about the scriptures and following the teachings of the church and inviting others to do so."Perhaps Schulte's greatest legacy was in the improvement in New Orleans Catholic schools. An educator himself, Schulte brought the catholic school system in New Orleans into the 21st century."We mourn his death," said Aymond. "He was a man who truly gave of himself as a priest and as a bishop, a man of great love and great sacrifice."The archdiocese said funeral arrangements are pending.
