Maria was the Pope's sister, housekeeper and closest confidant!

The personal history of the Pope is replete with the presence of women in trusted roles of influence who have acted as his aides and advisers. The first of these was his sister, Maria, who died in 1991. Living with the then-Grand Inquisitor in his cardinalatial apartment in the Piazza della Cittá Leonina, Maria Ratzinger kept house for her brother.
