He's one of Benedict XVI's closest collaborators and one of the few people who see him everyday. So whenever Msgr. Georg G\u00ed\u00a4nswein attends a public event, he's constantly asked about the Pope emeritus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n'He's doing fine. He is an 87 year old man. His mind in still sharp. His legs are a bit weak, but he's doing well.\u00e2?\u009d\u00a0<\/p>\n
G\u00ed\u00a4nswein, is also the Vatican\u00c2\u00b4s Prefect of the Papal Household. During a conference on \u00a0Papal communication styles, at the University of the Holy Cross, he talked about the papacy of Benedict XVI.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nPrefect of the Papal Household
\n'He talked to the mind, but through that he would move the heart. Anyone who knows him closely understands this.\u00e2?\u009d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But his seven year pontificate had its challenges and even critics. G\u00ed\u00a4nswein says a large part of that was caused by prejudice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nPrefect of the Papal Household
\n'After his Regensburg speech on September 12, 2006, the prejudice against him was always there. It was always present unfortunately. Always.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
Even amid challenges, G\u00ed\u00a4nswein says the Pope emeritus always faced the situations head on and without aggression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
MSGR. GEORG G\u00ed?NSWEIN
\nPrefect of the Papal Household
\n'He faced suffering, but he never lashed out or attacked. He never did that. On the contrary, he responded with humbleness, clarity and authenticity. And he never ignored real problems.\u00e2?\u009d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the Prefect of the Papal Household, G\u00ed\u00a4nswein is in charge of coordinating the Pope's daily schedule. It was his task with Benedict XVI and now again with Pope Francis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When it comes to insiders, G\u00ed\u00a4nswein has a front row seat. He's the first person to work for two living Popes on a daily basis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
