Ingrid Stampa—a former professor at the conservatory of Hamburg who speaks at least three languages and has an advanced degree in ancient music–ghostwrites and translates for [Benedict]. She will now serve Benedict XVI as the first member of the papacy’s inner circle, just as John Paul II’s secretary of four decades, Archbishop Stanislaw Dziwisz, did for the late pontiff. More likely than not, she will function as the pope’s eyes and ears in those places he can’t directly go, and provide priceless “backdoor” access to Benedict XVI to people who would normally be hindered by the Vatican bureaucracy.
