Former German head spy new ambassador to the Holy See

 It’s often said that the Holy See/Vatican has the best secret service in the world; it has a network of priests who span the world.

Kahl is a lawyer by trade; he also studied journalism at the Catholic Journalism school in Munich.

Difficult not to spot the irony in the appointment.
