These had made him a hero with the Church’s more traditionalist wing.

Perez, who in 2018 criticised President Donald Trump’s policy of separating migrant families, was born the son of Cuban exiles in Miami.
He grew up in New Jersey and began working as a priest in Philadelphia in 1989.

He is the first Latino to head the Church in Philadelphia – one of the most important dioceses in the U.S. – and only the third to head an American archdiocese, reflecting changing demographics in the U.S. population.
