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.
