description: "If you want to exercise any meaningful authority in the Church today, you have to listen not just to the most agreeable voices, and not solely to the edicts of Rome. Rather, you listen to where the spirit is - you hear one small voice, and you say, "that's it." Based on The New Yorker profile, this book takes us on the road with Rembert Weakland, musician, former abbot primate of the worldwide Benedictines, Archbishop of Milwaukee, and one of the most widely respected - as well as controversial - leaders of the Catholic Church in America. Wilkes follows the Archbishop during a particularly hectic time - a trip to El Salvador in remembrance of the martyred Jesuits, a national meeting of the Conference of Bishops, and the intervention of the Vatican to deprive him of an honorary degree from the University of Fribourg.
