President Donald Trump has picked a pro-life leader as his Ambassador to the Holy See.
Brian Burch is the president and co-founder of CatholicVote, a prominent pro-life group. He and his wife, Sara, have nine children and live in the Chicago suburbs.
“I am pleased to announce that Brian Burch will serve as the next United States Ambassador to the Holy See. Brian is a devout Catholic, a father of nine, and President of CatholicVote,” Trump said in a statement to LifeNews.
“He has received numerous awards, and demonstrated exceptional leadership, helping build one of the largest Catholic advocacy groups in the Country. He represented me well during the last Election, having garnered more Catholic votes than any Presidential Candidate in History,” Trump added.

Trump concluded: “Brian loves his Church and the United States – He will make us all proud. Congratulations to Brian, his wife Sara, and their incredible family!”
Burch said on social media that as ambassador he would “promote the dignity of all people and the common good.” He wrote on X that he is “deeply honored and humbled to have been nominated” for the position.
“The Catholic Church is the largest and most important religious institution in the world, and its relationship to the United States is of vital importance,” he wrote. “I am committed to working with leaders inside the Vatican and the new administration to promote the dignity of all people and the common good.”
“To God be the glory,” Burch wrote.
According to a Washington Post exit poll, Trump won the Catholic vote by a 15-point margin this year — a 10-point swing in his favor from the previous election.
Joe Biden selected former Sen. Joe Donnelly, who is Catholic, as ambassador to the Holy See even though Donnelly voted pro-abortion in the Senate.
