Stewart Stehlin, a history professor emeritus at New York University who has researched and written on the Vatican and diplomacy, noted that embassies to the Vatican are distinctly different from others because they do not have to deal with trade, visas, military matters and other topics.
"The role basically is to be a listening post," Stehlin said. With every bishop in the world making an "ad limina" visit to the Vatican every five years, there is a constant stream of visitors who are well connected to what's happening in their home regions and in the Vatican, he said.
Stehlin said poorly prepared ambassadors can do a great deal of damage to international relationships. While that sometimes is a problem with political appointees, it's not necessarily the rule, he said.
"You really can't tell until the person gets there," he said. And even those who are not particularly good at the diplomatic part of the job are well-supported by career embassy staff who have been trained in diplomacy, he added.
