Archbishop Georg G\u00e4nswein, secretary to Pope Benedict and prefect of the papal household, suffers to this day in the change from Pope Benedict to Pope Francis<\/a>, Zeit-Online<\/em> reports. \u201cI must be honest with myself about this,\u201d G\u00e4nswein said. \u201cIt is an ache, finding my way with a new role. I have the impression that I live in two worlds.\u201d He said of his relationship to Pope Francis, \u201cI wait every day for another innovation, what will be different today.\u201d<\/p>\n

G\u00e4nswein candidly admits that at the beginning he found it \u201can affront\u201d of Francis against his predecessor (Benedict) that the new pope did not move into the apostolic palace. Francis said that he found the papal living quarters \u201cdreary\u201d and he wished to live \u201cwith people.\u201d G\u00e4nswein says that meanwhile, he and Francis have been able to joke about the controversy.<\/p>\n

G\u00e4nswein says that for him, there is only one pope. But he still addresses Benedict as \u201cHoly Father.\u201d He continues in his service of Benedict because he promised to be faithful to him \u201cin life and death.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
