Information trouvée : Rembert George Samuel Weakland OSB (April 2, 1927 – August 22, 2022) was an American
Benedictine monk who served as Archbishop of Milwaukee from 1977 to 2002. He was born
George Samuel Weakland in Patton, Pennsylvania. Following graduation in 1945, Weakland
entered the novitiate of the archabbey, taking the religious name of Rembert. When
he completed this initiation into monastic life the following year, he went on to
study at Saint Vincent College and Saint Vincent Seminary, also run by the archabbey.
He made his solemn profession as a monk on September 29, 1949, at Solesmes Abbey in
France. He was then sent by the archabbot to study theology at the Pontifical Atheneum
of St. Anselm in Rome. He furthered his studies in music in Italy, France, and Germany,
as well as at both the Juilliard School and Columbia University in New York City.
During this period, while doing research at the British Library, he discovered the
text of a medieval liturgical drama, the Play of Daniel, for which he released an
authoritative text with commentary. It came to be frequently staged by musical groups,
such as the New York Pro Musica, which specialize in music from that era. From 1957
to 1963, he taught music at his alma mater of St. Vincent College. On September 29,
1967, Weakland was elected the Abbot Primate of the Benedictine Confederation, to
which office he was later re-elected in 1973. During this period, he served as Chancellor
ex officio of the Pontifical Atheneum of St. Anselm. He also served as a member of
the Vatican Council of Superiors General from 1968 until 1977. On December 21, 1999,
Weakland defended and received a Doctorate in Musicology – "with distinction" – from
Columbia University, New York, for his research and thesis on "The Office Antiphons
of the Ambrosian Chant"
