Again: Will Gänswein Become Nuncio?

Francis has decided to make Archbishop Georg Gänswein, 67, nuncio, reports Francis' friend Elisabetta Piqué on LaNacion.com.ar (11 April).

"Despite the tensions between the two," she wrote, "Francis has decided to wipe the slate clean and give a new start and mission to Benedict's former private secretary, German Archbishop Georg Gänswein, who, therefore, will soon be appointed nuncio in some part of the world."

She based her report on "indiscreet remarks [gossip] circulating in the Vatican", which she found "credible". Francis has decided to appoint Mgr. Gänswein to a nunciature in an as yet unnamed country.

It is possible that this is just a hoax report to divert attention from Francis' undignified outbursts in his latest book, "El Sucesor - Mis recuerdos de Benedicto XVI", in which he smears Monsignor Gänswein and other prelates of the Church.
