December 7, 2012. (Romereports.com) The Pope’s private secretary, Monsignor Georg Gaenswein has two new titles. He’s been named Prefect of the Papal Household and also archbishop.
The dual appointment was carried out because the Prefect of the Papal Household, must also be an archbishop. Up until now, Gaenswein had not held that rank.
Previously the Prefect of the Papal Household was James Harvey. In November he left that post, when the Pope made him a Cardinal and the archpriest of the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls.
