‘Just looking into his eyes was enough to see the gentleness there — a clear and resolute gentleness, which can sometimes be firmer than marble.’
Speaking to EWTN, Archbishop Gänswein emphasized his spiritual approach when preparing for the assignment.
Archbishop Georg Gänswein was the personal secretary of the late Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
The future role of the late Benedict’s secretary has been the subject of rumor and gossip across Rome and the Church in Germany for many months.
His friendship with Christ, love for truth, and ‘remarkable’ ability to communicate were just some of the late pontiff’s qualities remembered at a two-day Rome conference on the first anniversary of his death.
BOOK PICK: Archbishop Gänswein’s new book is both a biography of Joseph Ratzinger and partial autobiography of the papal secretary, highlighting friendship centered in Christ.
If held, it would have been Archbishop Gänswein’s first public appearance outside Germany since his arrival in the Diocese of Freiburg,
Some have speculated that Archbishop Gänswein not receiving an official position in Freiburg should be perceived as a slight, but this view is contested by a local canon lawyer, who spoke to German Catholic media.
