Fox Producer and Veteran Journalist in Rome Reflects on Covering Pope Francis and Traveling on the Papal Plane

Courtney Walsh is an American who has lived in Rome for most of her adult life. She speaks Italian fluently, is married to an Italian, they have three children — one of which is getting married this summer in the Italian countryside — and for several decades, Walsh has covered the Vatican, reporting on the popes, traveling on the papal plane coordinating coverage for several networks. She is the consummate producer, the often-unsung hero, and the source of a plethora of inside information that other journalists rely on to do their jobs best. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Walsh reflects on Pope Francis, his death, his life, and what it’s like working with the Vatican Press Office, covering one of the most historical events of modern day.
