Pope Francis has ordered the 66-year-old to leave Rome by July 1, the newspaper reports on Friday. According to dpa information, talks are ongoing about the change, but have not yet been finalized.

The decision to do so was taken in May at a private audience, reports the “world” and refers to several high-ranking church sources. The decision is said to have been preceded by “a back and forth of several weeks”. Gänswein is said to have proposed several tasks. Francis, on the other hand, thought about becoming a professor of theology. A spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Freiburg said when asked that the diocese’s leadership could not comment on the report. It was not until mid-May that Gänswein led a service in Freiburg Cathedral.

Since the death of Benedict XVI. On New Year’s Eve 2022, Gänswein had been waiting for Pope Francis to assign him a new task. He received it three times for an official private audience. There was speculation about a possible transfer to Costa Rica as Vatican ambassador or that Gänswein could become Archbishop of Bamberg. Shortly after Benedict’s death, Gänswein published the book “Nothing but the Truth” early this year, which was widely understood as a criticism of Francis. (SDA)
