Pope Benedict XVI has called his ambassador back from the Philippines and has named him the assistant secretary of state in charge of daily Vatican affairs.
Italian Archbishop Fernando Filoni, 61, had been in the Philippines just over a year. Before that, he had served five years as the Vatican's nuncio in Jordan and in war-torn Iraq.
His official job title, "substitute for general affairs," is the Vatican's description of a job often like that of a presidential chief of staff. It will be Archbishop Filoni's job to handle many internal church affairs personally and to determine which matters need to be brought to the pope's attention.
And to the ones above, no wonder Mum used to get upset what terrible replies, why do you have to be nasty?

Personal Secretary.
The Pope Benedict XVI's personal secretary's name is Reverend Monsignor Georg Gänswein.
Monsignor Gänswein is known by Italians as Padre Georg or (due to his handsome looks) Beautiful George. He was born in 1956 in a small town of Germany and ordained to the priesthood in 1984.
