Pope Francis reconciles with Archbishop Georg Gaenswein by appointing him as Vatican ambassador to Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia, after Gaenswein's book critical of Francis.
Pope Francis has reconciled with Benedict's former aide, Archbishop Georg Gaenswein, by appointing him as Vatican ambassador (nuncio) to Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia. This move comes after Gaenswein was ordered by Pope Francis to leave the Vatican in June 2023, which was seen as a snub. The reconciliation appears to be a response to Gaenswein's book criticizing Francis, published after Benedict's burial in January 2023.
