When John Schuette, S.V.D., died suddenly on November 18 1971, in an automobile accident outside of Rome, the reaction to his death was worldwide. Not only news media like L'Osservatore Romano of the Vatican but also a great variety of Italian and German newspapers (e.g., II Tempo, II Messaggero, II Giornale d'Italia, d'Avvenire, Die Welt, and Frankfurter Allegeine Zeitung) carried the shocking news. Similar reports and tributes appeared in the American press, such as the International Herald Tribune and the U.S. army paper Stars and Stripes. But who was Schuette whose death attracted so much attention? John Schuette was born on April 23, 1913, in Essen, Germany, as the third child of the family. He was baptized the next day in the local parish church and given the name of John the Baptist. Essen is a small community in Oldenburg, a region of Germany known for its great loyalty to the Catholic Church, a kind of heartland of Catholicism. During the Nazi times the people stood staunchly at the side of their bishop, Bishop van Galen of Munster, defending their religious way of life.
