Rome: Pope Francis' surprise pick for Cardinal, American Archbishop Joseph Tobin, said that the United States church has four difficult years ahead as it insists on providing a refuge to migrants and refugees during a Donald Trump administration.
Archbishop Tobin knows well what lies ahead: As archbishop of Indianapolis, he publicly challenged Mr Trumps' Vice President-elect, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, over his order to prevent aid groups from helping resettle Syrian refugees in the state.
Joseph Tobin refused and last year the archdiocese settled the Syrian family in question - followed by 52 other refugees.
