Pope Francis is dismissing the commander of his Swiss Guard, Daniel Anrig.
The Vatican quietly announced the move in a short paragraph buried in its newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, on Dec. 4.
“The holy father has ordered that Colonel Daniel Rudolf Anrig end his term on 31 January, at the conclusion of the extension of his mandate,” the note said, according to a translation provided by The Guardian.
The Holy See didn’t provide a reason for the dismissal in the notice, although Italian journalists are speculating that Francis disapproved of the “rigid” style of leadership that Anrig had over the young men tasked with protecting the Pope.
