Greg Burke, Fox News’ Vatican correspondent since 2001, will “leave the network to help improve and coordinate the Vatican’s various communications operations,” according to himself and the Vatican spokesman. Donadio comments, “Mr. Burke is a member of the conservative Opus Dei movement, and his hiring underscores the group’s role in the Vatican.”
