This is all you need to do:
On another note, though, the bishop on the left looks like the same bishop in the same position to Pope Benedict XVI, when Benedict shocked him and the world reading his renunciation of the papacy speech in Latin. In fact, that bishop’s eyes began to bulge out of his head as he heard the unbearable in Latin from Pope Benedict!
And on the right seems to be Pope Leo’s new Gainswain, meaning personal secretary. I don’t think Pope Francis had a consistent Gainswain as Benedict did. This seems to be another reversal of Pope Francis by Pope Leo. But who is the new Gainswain?

You should keep your styles and preferences to yourself, Fr.
It's been nice not being lectured on fixations pertaining to lace, candles and other externals.
I think the bishop whose eyes bulged was one of only a few in that room who understood what was happening.
It was archbishop Pozzo who was sitting next to Pope Benedict. Pozzo was sidelined under Pope Francis, ending up in the non-role of superintendent of the finances of the Sistine Chapel Choir.
The prelate next to Pope Leo is Leonardo Sapienza, who does look a lot like Pozzo. Sapienza has effectively been functioning as prefect of the papal household for the last five years, and it's odd that he hasn't (yet) been given the actual title. Presumably Pope Francis kept him as regent since he was intending to dissolve the papal household.
I can't remember the new papal secretary's name, but he's Peruvian and was appointed less than a week after Leo's election.
Thanks James! The two do resemble each other!
