Georg graces cover of Vanity Fair


Pope Benedict XVI's personal secretary, Archbishop Georg Gänswein, is featuring on the cover of the next issue of the glitzy Italian edition of Vanity Fair.

"Padre Georg - being beautiful is not a sin," says the title line, using a direct quote from the prelate nicknamed "Gorgeous George" by the Italian media. "From the 'George Clooney of St Peter's' to number two in the Vatican: after his ordination as bishop, an up-close profile of a unique Monsignor," reads the subtitle.

The Italian weekly, one of three international editions inspired by the more famous and literary US prototype, has devoted six pages to its profile of the 54-year-old prelate. The author of the profile is Vatican expert Andrea Tornielli, of the Turin-based La Stampa newspaper, who notes that Georg "is now the most influential éminence grise close to the Pope."

What's happened to the German priests?? :'(
"Nothing is more miserable than those people who never failed to attack their own salvation. When there was need to observe the Law, they trampled it under foot. Now that the Law has ceased to bind, they obstinately strive to observe it. What could be more pitiable that those who provoke God not only by transgressing the Law but also by keeping it? But at any rate the Jews say that they, too, adore God. God forbid that I say that. No Jew adores God! Who say so? The Son of God say so. For he said: "If you were to know my Father, you would also know me. But you neither know me nor do you know my Father". Could I produce a witness more trustworthy than the Son of God?"  St. John Chrysostom  Sunday Homily
