The National Catholic Reporter has named Christopher White as its new Vatican correspondent. White has served as NCR's national correspondent for the past year.
He succeeds Joshua McElwee, NCR's Vatican correspondent for seven years, who was recently promoted to NCR national news editor.
In his year as NCR national correspondent, White profiled candidate Joe Biden; covered the presidential election, including Catholic support of and opposition to Donald Trump; summarized reaction to the McCarrick report,
Fratelli Tutti and other Vatican and papal documents; and clarified that the nuns at a Michigan Trump rally aren't really nuns. He also interviewed Lin-Manuel Miranda's dad, Luis.
