big-hearted, down-to-earth figure, Cardinal Tobin has worked in Rome as a senior Vatican official and as leader of his Redemptorist order, a congregation of missionaries working in over 80 countries and with a focus on the poor. His international experience, work in the Vatican and leadership of Catholic communities in Indianapolis and Newark make him a leading US candidate in the forthcoming conclave. The cardinal – who also speaks Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian – has been a prominent advocate for migrants, once defying former Gov. Mike Pence’s ban on resettling refugees from Syria in Indiana. He will be one to watch.
