U.S. Catholics are more polarized than ever in how they view Pope Francis, even though majorities on both ends of the political spectrum have a positive view of the pope, according to a new survey.
In a recent interview book, Pope Francis said Archbishop Gänswein “at times made difficulties for me.” Now the former private secretary to Pope Benedict XVI will be made a nuncio in an as-yet-unnamed country.
In 2006, Pope Benedict XVI dropped “Patriarch of the West” from his official titles. Vatican officials at the time said the title was removed because it was theologically imprecise and historically obsolete.
