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.

Yesterday the German government appointed Bruno Kohl, the current head of the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) the German Federal Intelligence Service, as its next ambassador to the Holy See.

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.
