After a series of shocking picks from the incoming President for his administration, Donald Trump has picked Brian Burch, a ring-wing Catholic advocate who was criticized Pope Francis, to be the ambassador to the Holy See.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump announced on Dec. 20 that he would nominate Brian Burch as his next ambassador to the Holy See. Burch is president of the political advocacy group CatholicVote.org.

Just five days before Christmas Day, President-elect Donald Trump announced he is appointing outspoken conservative and president of Catholic Vote Brian Burch to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the Vatican.
