Speaker's Bio
John L. Allen Jr. is, according to the London Tablet , the most authoritative Vatican writer in the English language. Since 1999, he has served as the prize-winning Vatican correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter and a CNN analyst on Vatican affairs. He also appears on National Public Radio. His reporting is admired across ideological divides; liberal commentator Andrew Greeley calls Allen's Vatican analysis “indispensable,” while conservative Richard John Neuhaus says possibly the best reporting on the Holy See published in the United States is Allen's weekly “The Word from Rome” Internet column. Writing in Newsweek magazine in 2003, veteran religion writer Kenneth Woodward described Allen as “the journalist other reporters – and not a few cardinals – look to for the inside story on how all the pope's men direct the world's largest church.” Allen is the author of three books on Vatican affairs: Conclave: The Politics, Personalities and Process of the Next Papal Election ; All the Pope's Men: The Inside Story of How the Vatican Really Thinks ; and The Rise of Benedict XVI: The Inside Story of How the Pope Was Elected and Where He Will Take the Catholic Church . His most recent work is Opus Dei: An Objective Look behind the Myths and Reality of the Most Controversial Force in the Catholic Church . All are published by Doubleday. Allen is a graduate of the University of Kansas , with a master's degree in religious studies. He and his wife Shannon live in Rome .
