Rembert G. Weakland (1927–2022)

I felt like I was really getting into the head of a bishop. I read this so quickly, because I just kept wanting to know what happened next. Weakland's run-ins with the Curia and his reactions to the changes in the Church, especially his disappointment at what he sees as the failure to implement V2, really hit a chord with me. The only quibble I have with the book is that the part where he listed all the places he visited as the primary abbot of the Benedictines... the details may make for good documentation but for the most part didn't really add much to his story.… (altro)
