Rembert Weakland
Rembert George Weakland, OSB (born 1927 April 2) is a Roman Catholic archbishop. He was the archbishop of Milwaukee from 1977 to 2002.
Born in Patton, Pennsylvania, he professed his vows as a member of the Benedictines on 1946 September 23, and was ordained a priest on 24 June, 1951 in Subiaco, Italy. He was elevated to abbot primate of the Benedictines on 1967 September 29. An accomplished musician and influential liturgist, he is a noted expert on Gregorian chant.
On 1977 September 20, Pope Paul VI appointed Father Weakland the archbishop of Milwaukee. He was consecrated a bishop on November 8, in the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist by Archbishop Jean Jadot. One of his last major actions as archbishop was effecting a highly controversial renovation of the cathedral. A staunch theological liberal throughout his episcopate, Archbishop Weakland retired on 2002 May 24 following the revelation that he had paid money, out of diocesan funds, to a former homosexual partner in settlement for alleged abuse[1].
