John L. Allen Jr. is the prize-winning Senior Correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter, CNN's Senior Vatican Analyst, a frequent commentator for other media outlets, and the author of five books on the Vatican and Catholic affairs. The London Tablet has called Allen "the most authoritative writer on Vatican affairs in the English language." His work is admired across ideological divides; liberal commentator Fr. Andrew Greeley calls his writing 'indispensable,' while conservative Fr. Richard John Neuhaus calls Allen's reporting possibly the best source of information on the Vatican published in the United States. According to Touchstone magazine, "Allen has achieved something remarkable, and that's genuine dialogue among sometimes competing voices in the Catholic Church." His weekly internet column, All Things Catholic, is widely read as a source of insight on the global Church. Allen's current project is Mega-Trends in Catholicism: Ten Forces Turning the Catholic Church Upside Down, a survey of the most important currents shaping the future of Catholicism and what they will mean for the Church in the 21st century. John and his wife Shannon live in New York; John also maintains an office in Rome.
Allen has been profiled in various national and international publications. Here's a piece from Newsweek: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3704902/
