Frank RuppertFrank Ruppert was born in 1933. At the age of twenty, he entered a Roman Catholic seminary in Baltimore. In 1958, while earning a licentiate in theology from the Gregorian University, he was ordained in Rome as a priest for the archdiocese of Washingon, D.C. Ten years later, along with other Washington priests, he took public issue with Pope Paul VI on birth control and the rights of conscious and left the priesthood. His interests have been in German spiritual thought, especially expressed by the great composers of music. This thought received perhaps its highest expression in the words of Schubert. It is this aspect of Schubert's art he exposes in this book. Read More Read Less
