Gänswein: Benedict XVI Sees Francis "as Someone Who Strengthens the Faith"
Archbishop Georg Gänswein told Rome Reports on June 15, that Benedict XVI is always in contact with Pope Francis.
He added, "Pope Benedict sees in Pope Francis a man of his time, a true witness to the Lord, one who succeeds in building up the faith of people with courage, even at times with methods which can be considered less than traditional. Nevertheless, this is his style - and everyone has his own - this is the style of Pope Francis, which is much appreciated by Pope Benedict.”
