Now the confusion returns with the Jan 29 Crux article says “The pope named another of the senior knights, its Grand Commander, Fra’ Ludwig Hoffmann von Rumerstein, as interim leader until his own legate was appointed.”  And the article also says the statement from the KofM order says  “..the order also pledged ‘full collaboration’ with the to-be-named papal delegate, who will oversee ‘the spiritual renewal of the order, specifically of its professed members’.”  

So, is Fra von Rumerstein “named” interim leader by the Pope or was Fra von Rumerstein slated to fill that role anyway under the KofM charter and the choice of the KofM Sovereign Council?  And, will he still be responsible for the order’s government after the special delegate is named by Pope Francis?  Put another way, will the special delegate oversee the order’s government and spiritual renewal or only the spiritual renewal. 

Methinks confusion still abounds.
