This dude was their PR guy until 2018 and is from FOX News. Pope Francis kept him until 2018 and then hired the new guy. That's a long time to have a Fox News guy in charge of your PR. New pope hasn't replaced Francis' picked guy.

Burke was formerly a correspondent for the Fox News and for Time magazine, while based in Rome. In June 2012 it was announced he would be taking up the position of senior communications advisor for the Section for General Affairs of the Vatican's Secretariat of State.[2][3][4]

He was appointed vice director of the Holy See Press Office in December 2015, and was promoted to director August 1, 2016, succeeding Frederico Lombardi.[5]

On December 31, 2018, he announced his intention to resign his appointment at the Holy See, being succeeded by Matteo Bruni.[6][7] In September 2019, he became director of communications at IESE Business School.[8]
