Archbishop Georg Ganswein, who has moved to Freiburg since being ordered by Pope Francis to leave Rome, will not have any formal role in the German archdiocese.
Archbishop Stephan Burger of Freiburg has confirmed that the longtime secretary to Pope Benedict XVI, will have no “permanent, fixed activity for the archdiocese.” Archbishop Ganswein may take on “individual assignments,” and conduct worship services in the city’s cathedral. But he will not act as an official representative of the archdiocese.
