• The Vatican’s statement that Gänswein's mandate already ended in February, means that he must return the salary he has received from February to the present.
• Francis has done a similar thing with some of the Vatican officials who are now accused in the ongoing Becciu trial.
• This is Francis’ way to recovering money and punishing those he perceives as his enemies in a particularly humiliating way.
Francis has not tolerated well that some saw Benedict XVI as a reference point and this may have triggered his anger against “backward people” and against the Mass that Benedict had liberated.
