The Boston Globe has hired one of the top English-speaking Vatican reporters and is considering launching a free-standing publication devoted to Catholicism, the paper announced Tuesday.

John Allen, a senior correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter and senior Vatican analyst for CNN, will be joining the Globe in early February, Globe editor Brian McGrory said in a statement.

“(Allen will play) several roles of prominence. He will be a correspondent first and foremost. He will be an analyst on all things Catholic. He will also help us explore the very real possibility of launching a free-standing publication devoted to Catholicism, drawing in other correspondents and leading voices from near and far,” McGrory said.
