Replaced by a fellow Chicagoan Ron Hicks

"The New York archdiocese is among the largest in the United States and the pick ends months of speculation about who would follow Dolan, widely regarded as being close to President Donald Trump.

Hicks's appointment is the most consequential Leo has made since his election to head up the world's Catholics in May and signals a desire to push back firmly on the US administration's policies.

Hicks shares several similarities with Leo including outspoken solidarity with migrants at a time when Trump is ordering mass deportations and portraying migrants and refugees as criminals."
