Johannes Wolfgang von Bodman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johannes Wolfgang Reichsfreiherr von Bodman (January 19, 1651;September 29, 1691) was auxiliary bishop of Konstanz (Germany) since 1686.
He was conserated as bishop on November 26, 1686 at Konstanz. Since the consecrator of him is not known and some of the bishops alive today can trace their episcopal lineage back to him, the person of Johannes von Bodman is very important for the history of the Catholic Church. This so called von Bodman lineage includes a few members of the episcopate in Indonesia.
