CWN Editor's Note: In an interview with EWTN, Archbishop Georg Gänswein, the longtime personal secretary to Pope Benedict XVI, reported a “change in atmosphere” around Rome since the election of Pope Leo XIV. “It’s a kind of pacified and open atmosphere,” he said.
The archbishop, who is now serving as apostolic nuncio to the Baltic countries, denied that he had had a “big falling-out” with Pope Francis, but conceded “certain difficulties, certain tensions,” between them. He said that those differences were resolved in January 2024, prior to his new assignment as a Vatican diplomat.
