Archbishop Gänswein to Lithuania?

Francis has allegedly thought of appointing Archbishop Georg Gänswein as nuncio to the Baltic countries, namely to the nunciature in Vilnius, Lithuania, which also covers neighbouring Estonia and Latvia, reports Corriere.it, citing Roman sources.

Until a month ago, Archbishop Petar Rajič, a Canadian of Bosnian-Croatian descent, was nuncio to the three countries. He was promoted on 11 March and is now nuncio to Italy.

If Francis were to make Gänswein a nuncio, he would be appointing as his official representative a person he considers his enemy and whom he slandered in his recent book.

This will be a great blessing for him! Vilnius is one of the key places where St. Faustina received the Divine Mercy revelations from Our Lord! The Vilius image of the Divine Mercy was the one that St. Faustina said looked most like what she saw during the apparitions of Our Lord to her.

When I was in high school, a friend of Lithuanian descent taught me how to say "good morning," "Merry Christmas," and "go to Hell" in Lithuanian. Maybe one of those phrases would come in handy if Archbishop Gänswein has to meet with Francis.

Maybe Francis is banking on (Ras)Putin invading the Baltics.
