John L. Allen Jr, 1965-2026 John L. Allen Jr. was a force of nature, certainly as a journalist who was not only our principal but also a model for us, whose counsel and whose company we already and forever shall sorely miss.

Rest in peace, John...and thank you ✝️

John died on January 22, after a lengthy battle with cancer. The legendary Vatican beat reporter and Church affairs analyst was 61 years old. He is survived by his wife, Elise Ann Allen, who is Crux’s senior Rome correspondent. cruxnow.com/church/2026/...
