TL;DR Summary

Archbishop Georg Gaenswein, the longtime secretary to Pope Benedict XVI, acknowledged that his memoir, "Nothing But the Truth: My Life Beside Pope Benedict XVI," had been criticized for casting Pope Francis in an unfavorable light, but insisted that some of the polemics were more about anti-Benedict prejudice than anything else. Gaenswein said he remained loyal to Francis and that he was still waiting for the pontiff to give him a new job. The book came to encapsulate the conservative criticism that has been directed at Francis and his more progressive bent by people nostalgic for Benedict’s doctrinaire papacy.
