## Resource

Covering the Vatican and the popes full time brings opportunities to share information about the Church with readers all around the world. Carol Glatz, Rome Bureau chief for Catholic News Service, has been working in that field for more than two decades, covering four popes. In this episode of Catholic Review radio, Glatz sat down with Catholic Review Editor Christopher Gunty for a wide-ranging discussion on the joys and hardships of covering such an important news beat. She shares insights on Pope Leo’s first year and how he differs from previous popes. Her trips with popes have taken her all around the world, but she recalls one of the most memorable incidents when Pope Benedict XVI had a spider crawling on him. Glatz also talks about a new project for CNS Rome, a podcast available in audio and video, called Vatican Access, and about plans for what’s next for the bureau.
