Pope Francis shoots Benedict's confidant Gänswein: “Lack of humanity”. In it, the 87-year-old accuses Benedict's former private secretary of having "used" the German Pope.
The Argentinean fired a new volley towards the banished German. After Benedict's resignation in 2013, Bergoglio was elected as his successor. In the interview book “El Sucesor’ (“The Successor”) by the Spanish Vatican correspondent Javier Martínez-Brocal, the Pope also accused Gänsein of spreading untruths.
