With the rite of episcopal ordination of Monsignors Angelo Vincenzo Zani, Fortunatus Nwachukwu, Georg Gänswein, Nicolas Henry Marie Denis Thevenin
It was one of the most beautiful and solemn masses of Benedict XVI's pontificate: in addition to the solemnity of the day and the vestments and insignia, on that occasion the Pope wore the fanon, a cape with white and gold lines, placed on his shoulders above the chasuble , representing the "shield of faith" (cf. Ephesians 6, 16); it was the third, and last time, that the Pope used it, in a space of 3 months because it is a papal vestment for the greatest solemnities.
As we have seen, among the ordained bishops was Msgr. Georg Gänswein, the Pope's private secretary. In his book "Nothing but the Truth", he reports that the Pope had already proposed to him to become secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and, consequently, bishop, but he himself did not accept. After a few years, the Pope asked him to accept the episcopal appointment this time, in which the bishop saw a public sign of the total and repeated confidence that the Pope had in him after the accusations for the leak of confidential documents.
