Christopher Lamb is CNN’s Vatican Correspondent, based between the network’s Rome and London bureaus.

In this role, he leads on all coverage of the Papacy, the Vatican, and its impact on the world for CNN’s TV and digital platforms.

Lamb has specialized in coverage of the Vatican for the better part of the last decade and is considered one of the foremost experts in this field in the English-speaking world.

He has travelled regularly with Pope Francis and has been an accredited member of the Vatican press corps since 2015.

Prior to joining CNN, Lamb was the Rome Correspondent for The Tablet, an international Catholic publication, and a regular contributor to the BBC and other major media outlets.

In 2020, he published an award-winning book titled ‘The Outsider,’ which offered an up-close look at the Pope’s attempts to reform the church and the opposition he has encountered. He also served as a consultant and contributor to a two-part documentary, “Inside the Vatican”, broadcast on the BBC and PBS, which lifted a lid on the inner workings of the Vatican and included interviews with some of the Pope’s closest collaborators.

Lamb studied theology at the University of Durham, and began his career in journalism in London, first at The Mail on Sunday and then The Daily Telegraph, before moving to Rome.
