Why is Archbishop Zollitsch still the apostolic administrator of Freiburg, Germany?

In October, the Freiburg archdiocese's pastoral care office wrote a document suggesting that divorced and remarried Catholics can receive Holy Communion under certain circumstances.

Since then, the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Archbishop Gerhard Müller, has several times reaffirmed that those in irregular marital unions after divorce cannot receive Holy Communion, while noting the necessity of pastoral care for such persons.

Archbishop Zollitsch noted that, as president of the German bishops' conference for nearly six years, he has several times traveled to Rome “to explain our position” supporting the admittance of the divorced and remarried to Communion.

“If a prefect of one the various Congregations would then oppose this position, I would think to go slowly. A Prefect is not the Pope. I look for dialogue, and for me that is the way of collegiality and the dialogue in the Church.”

Eight years in Rome have given me an idea of the answer: Italians are intimidated by Germans.
