Pope Francis removed the Commander of the Swiss Guards, Colonel Daniel Rudolf Anrig, from his post on Wednesday, according to Vatican's newspaper L'Osservatore Romano. • No official reasons behind the Pope's decision have been communicated by the Holy See. • The front page of the newspaper stated that Anrig will remain in his post until January 31st, 2015, when the extension granted to him at the end of his five-years mandate will be concluded. • The announcement took Italian journalists covering the Vatican by surprise. • Franca Giansoldati, journalist of Il Messaggero newspaper, said that the way the announcement was made was unusual because it was informed by the Secretary of State instead of being informed by the Pope. • Get the latest headlines http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ • Subscribe to The Telegraph http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c... • Like us on Facebook / telegraph.co.uk • Follow us on Twitter / telegraph • Follow us on Google+ https://plus.google.com/1028913550727... • Telegraph.co.uk and / telegraphtv are websites of The Daily Telegraph, the UK's best-selling quality daily newspaper providing news and analysis on UK and world events, business, sport, lifestyle and culture.
