How heavily dependent is the Pope on speech writers?  I assume he is fluent in Spanish, although I have been told that Argentinian Spanish is quite different from, say, Spanish spoken in Peru.  This is not a defense, since he is still responsible for content, but how much is this papacy like too many politicians who write little of their own speeches and read what is set in front of them, particularly in areas they are not personally familiar with?
