Passing of a predator: Rembert Weakland dead at 95

Retired Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert G. Weakland, a once-towering figure in the American Catholic Church who spent his final years in virtual exile after a public fall from grace, has died. He stepped down in 2002 amid a scandal that involved embezzling $450,000 in church funds to silence a man who had accused him of sexual assault and was his former “lover.” ^[1]
