**Joseph William Tobin** [CSsR](/source/Congregation_of_the_Most_Holy_Redeemer) (born May 3, 1952) is an American [prelate](/source/Prelate) of the [Catholic Church](/source/Catholic_Church). A member of the [Redemptorist](/source/Redemptorists) order, he has been the [Archbishop of Newark](/source/Archdiocese_of_Newark) since 2017. He previously served as the [Archbishop of Indianapolis](/source/Archdiocese_of_Indianapolis) from 2012 to 2016 and as secretary of the [Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life](/source/Dicastery_for_Institutes_of_Consecrated_Life_and_Societies_of_Apostolic_Life) from 2010 to 2012. He has been a [cardinal](/source/Cardinal_(Catholic_Church)) since November 19, 2016.

## Early life and education

Joseph William Tobin was born in [Detroit](/source/Detroit), [Michigan](/source/Michigan), on May 3, 1952, the oldest of the 13 children of Joseph W. Tobin and Marie Terese Kerwin. His parents were immigrants from [County Kerry](/source/County_Kerry), Ireland.[1] He was [baptized](/source/Baptism) five days after his birth at the [Church of the Most Holy Redeemer](/source/Most_Holy_Redeemer_Church_(Detroit%2C_Michigan)) in Detroit, founded and administered by the [Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer](/source/Congregation_of_the_Most_Holy_Redeemer) (Redemptorists). He later attended the [parochial school](/source/Parochial_school) at the church.[2]

By the time he had graduated, Tobin felt called to serve as a [Catholic priest](/source/Catholic_priest). He applied to join the Redemptorists, who accepted him as a candidate. He then attended St. Joseph's Preparatory College in [Edgerton, Wisconsin](/source/Edgerton%2C_Wisconsin), the Redemptorist [minor seminary](/source/Minor_seminary). After graduating from St. Joseph's in 1970, he was received into the Redemptorist [novitiate](/source/Novitiate) to begin his formation as a member. Tobin made his temporary profession of [religious vows](/source/Religious_vows) as a member of the Redemptorists on August 5, 1972, and his [perpetual vows](/source/Perpetual_vows) on August 21, 1976.[2]

In 1975, Tobin received a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy from Holy Redeemer College in [Waterford, Wisconsin](/source/Waterford%2C_Wisconsin). He then studied at [Mount St. Alphonsus Seminary](/source/Mount_St._Alphonsus_Seminary) in Esopus, New York, earning a [Master of Religious Education](/source/Master_of_Religious_Education) degree in 1977 and a [Master of Divinity](/source/Master_of_Divinity) degree in pastoral theology in 1979.[2]

## Ordination and ministry

Tobin was ordained a [priest](/source/Priesthood_(Catholic_Church)) for the Redemptorist Order by Archbishop [William Cousins](/source/William_Edward_Cousins) at Holy Redeemer College on June 1, 1978. The following year, Tobin returned to Detroit, where he was appointed the [parochial vicar](/source/Parochial_vicar) of Holy Redeemer Parish. He was later named [pastor](/source/Pastor) there, serving from 1984 to 1990. From 1980 to 1986, he served as an [episcopal vicar](/source/Episcopal_vicar) for the [Archdiocese of Detroit](/source/Archdiocese_of_Detroit), and also assisted at the local diocesan marriage tribunal. From 1990 to 1991, Tobin served as pastor of St. Alphonsus Parish in [Chicago](/source/Chicago), [Illinois](/source/Illinois).[3]

The Redemptorists elected Tobin as their general consultor in 1991 and as their superior general in 1997[2] He began a second term as superior general in 2003. That same year, he was named vice-president of the Union of Superiors General. Tobin also served as a member of the Council for Relations between the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life and the [International Union of Superiors General](/source/International_Union_of_Superiors_General) from 2001 to 2009.

In 2005, Tobin participated in a [synod of bishops](/source/Synod_of_Bishops_in_the_Catholic_Church) in Rome. He spent a week in a Spanish-language discussion group that included Archbishop Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, the future [Pope Francis](/source/Pope_Francis).[4]

Tobin took a sabbatical to [Blackfriars Hall Priory](/source/Blackfriars%2C_Oxford) in [Oxford, England](/source/Oxford%2C_England) in 2010, residing with the [De La Salle Brothers](/source/De_La_Salle_Brothers). While there, he pursued his interest in the rise of [secularization](/source/Secularization) and secular culture, attending seminars by anthropologist [Peter B. Clarke](/source/Peter_B._Clarke), studying at the Las Casas Institute and taking classes at Blackfriars. Tobin speaks English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese.

## Roman Curia

In May 2009, the Vatican named Tobin to oversee the professed men's element of the 2010 [Apostolic Visitation](/source/Apostolic_visitation_to_Ireland) of the [Church in Ireland](/source/Catholic_Church_in_Ireland). On August 2, 2010, Tobin was appointed secretary of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life (CICLSAL)[5][6] and [titular archbishop](/source/Titular_Archbishop) of [Obba](/source/Obba_(town)). Tobin became the second American cleric to head CICLSAL.[a]Tobin learned of his appointment two weeks before the Vatican announced it. He recalled:

I was painting my mom's house in Ontario when the phone rang. The voice on the other end said it was Cardinal Bertone, and my first thought was that it was a prank, … you know, I thought maybe it was one of the Redemptorists fooling around. Quickly, though, I realized that it really was Bertone, and he said that the Holy Father wants you to do this. My first reaction was to tell him that off the top of my head, I could give him the names of five people much more qualified to do this job than I am. I was completely serious about it. But Cardinal Bertone said no, this is what the Holy Father wants. He said I could take a week to ten days to think about it, so I talked to my superiors, my closest friends in religious life, and my spiritual director.[7]

Tobin received his [episcopal consecration](/source/Bishop_(Catholic_Church)) in Rome on October 9, 2010. He had said:

[My] hope is that the Vatican's relationship with the local churches can be a sort of creative tension. I think life without tension would be very boring and useless. We can't walk, we can't talk, we can't sing without tension. You need to have tension in your vocal chords and your back, let alone a guitar. However, tension can be destructive. The challenge is to recognise the diversity of gifts and the plurality of churches and the one spirit that unites us. And I think that is the adventure of a lifetime.[8]

When Tobin arrived at CICLSAL, it was already conducting a [visitation](/source/Canonical_visitation)—a critical inspection of ministries and organization—of the 341 institutes of apostolic [women religious](/source/Women_religious) in the United States.[9] At the same time, the [Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith](/source/Congregation_for_the_Doctrine_of_the_Faith) (CDF) was conducting a doctrinal assessment of the [Leadership Conference of Women Religious](/source/Leadership_Conference_of_Women_Religious) (LCWR), focused on its theological orthodoxy.[10]

In December 2010, Tobin said that the Vatican needed to acknowledge the "depth of anger and hurt" among the nuns that was provoked by the CDF visitation, saying it illustrated the need for a "strategy of reconciliation" with women religious.[11] The CDF issued its report on the LCWR in April 2012; Tobin was reportedly unhappy with the report content and the failure of the CDF to consult him before releasing it.[12][13]

## Archbishop of Indianapolis

On October 18, 2012, [Pope Benedict XVI](/source/Pope_Benedict_XVI) appointed Tobin as archbishop of Indianapolis, a Catholic community of 246,000.[12] He was installed on December 3, 2012.[14] His reassignment from the Curia had been rumored since Tobin expressed his unhappiness with the CDF's highly critical report on the LCWR in April 2012.[12]

In May 2016, the Vatican named Tobin to oversee the [Sodalitium Christianae Vitae](/source/Sodalitium_Christianae_Vitae), a religious community that a Vatican review had found in need of thorough-going reform.[15]

## Cardinal

On October 9, 2016, Francis announced that he would make Tobin a cardinal in a [papal consistory](/source/Papal_consistory) on November 19, 2016.[16] On that day, Tobin became a [Cardinal-Priest](/source/Cardinal-Priest) of [Santa Maria delle Grazie a Via Trionfale](/source/Santa_Maria_delle_Grazie_a_Via_Trionfale).[17] Francis named Tobin a member of the [Pontifical Council for Culture](/source/Pontifical_Council_for_Culture) on November 11, 2019,[18] a member of the [Congregation for Bishops](/source/Congregation_for_Bishops) on March 4, 2021[19] and a member of the [Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura](/source/Supreme_Tribunal_of_the_Apostolic_Signatura) on June 21, 2021.[20]

Tobin participated in the [2025 papal conclave](/source/2025_papal_conclave), and was even considered *[papabile](/source/Papabile)* by a few sources, namely *[The New York Times](/source/The_New_York_Times)*.[21] The *[National Catholic Reporter](/source/National_Catholic_Reporter)* ran an article highlighting Tobin as a serious candidate, namely due to his charitable works as a Redemptorist, his support for Francis' agenda, and his vocal opposition to [Donald Trump](/source/Donald_Trump).[22] However, all sources noted that there is a longstanding taboo within the church to elect a pope from the dominant global power.[23] Regardless, Chicago-born Robert Francis Prevost would be elected the first ever American-born pope; [Leo XIV](/source/Leo_XIV), although he had largely lived in Peru and Rome since 1983.[24]

## Archbishop of Newark

### Appointment and tenure

On November 7, 2016, Francis named Tobin as archbishop of Newark, a city which had, like Indianapolis, never before been headed by a cardinal.[25][26][27] He was installed there on January 6, 2017.[28]

## Viewpoints

### Abortion

Tobin in 2021 expressed concern about the exclusion of the [Hyde Amendment](/source/Hyde_Amendment) from the proposed 2022 federal budget that President [Joe Biden](/source/Joe_Biden) sent to the US Congress. Enacted in 1980, the amendment prohibited the use of federal funds for abortion services to women.[29]

### Capital punishment

In July 2020, Tobin and several other bishops petitioned President [Donald Trump](/source/Donald_Trump) to commute the death sentence of [Dustin Honken](/source/Dustin_Honken). He had been convicted in 2004 of murdering five people in Iowa, including two children. Tobin remarked that Honken's execution would "...reduce the government of the United States to the level of a murderer and serve to perpetuate a climate of violence which brutalizes our society in so many ways."[30] Honken was executed later that month.[31]

### Clergy sex abuse

On August 17, 2018, the *[Catholic News Agency](/source/Catholic_News_Agency)* reported that six Newark priests had allegedly experienced sexual misconduct by two priests in seminary and ministry in the archdiocese. Tobin responded with a letter to the archdiocesan priests that the same day, saying that he had been unaware of the issue. He encouraged priests to refer media inquiries to the archdiocesan director of communications.[32][33][34]

On August 25, 2018, Archbishop [Carlo Maria Viganò](/source/Carlo_Maria_Vigan%C3%B2), a former [apostolic nuncio to the United States](/source/Apostolic_Nunciature_to_the_United_States), released a letter describing a series of warnings to the [Vatican](/source/Holy_See) regarding alleged sexual misconduct by then-cardinal [Theodore McCarrick](/source/Theodore_McCarrick), a predecessor of Tobin in Newark. Viganò claimed that McCarrick "orchestrated" the appointment of Tobin as Archbishop of Newark.[35][36] Tobin denounced Viganò's statement for "factual errors, innuendo and fearful ideology." He said that the letter "cannot be understood as contributing to the healing of survivors of sexual abuse" and called for "guaranteeing a safe and respectful environment where all are welcome and breaking down the structures and cultures that enable abuse."[37]

One journalist claims that in a conversation with Tobin that he said that around the time he came to Newark in 2016 he heard "rumors" about McCarrick having slept with seminarians. However, Tobin chose not to believe them, stating that at the time they seemed too "incredulous" to be true.[38]

In August 2020, Tobin disputed a Catholic New Agency in which anonymous priests claimed that a "gay subculture" existed in the archdiocese and in its college seminary.[39]

### Immigration

Tobin is a strong advocate of increased acceptance of migrants into the United States and of a lenient position towards [undocumented immigrants](/source/Undocumented_immigrants). In March 2017, he accompanied 59-year old Catalino Guerrero, an undocumented immigrant, to his [deportation](/source/Deportation) hearing. In May 2018, Tobin called on Catholic leaders to resist Trump's immigration policies, saying, "you really have to believe in inflicting cruelty on innocent people to choose to support the policies we've seen in recent months."[40]

In September 2019, Tobin gave a blessing to a crowd gathered outside the [Immigration and Customs Enforcement](/source/Immigration_and_Customs_Enforcement) (ICE) office in Newark. They were protesting the immigration policy of the [Trump Administration](/source/Trump_administration_family_separation_policy) that separated children from parents who were [undocumented immigrants.](/source/Undocumented_immigrants_(U.S.)) He remarked, "These draconian measures are not a solution to our broken immigration system. They are violations to human dignity."[41]

In January 2026, a day after the [killing of Alex Pretti](/source/Killing_of_Alex_Pretti) by [United States Border Patrol](/source/United_States_Border_Patrol) agents in [Minneapolis](/source/Minneapolis), Tobin denounced ICE as a "lawless organization" and urged Catholics to oppose additional funding for the agency.[42]

### LGBTQ issues

Tobin, in April, welcomed a "pilgrimage" of gay and lesbian Catholics and their families to the archdiocese's cathedral in 2017. In an interview before the Mass, Tobin said,

"The word I use is 'welcome'. These are people that have not felt welcome in other places. My prayer for them is that they do. Today in the Catholic Church, we read a passage that says you have to be able to give a reason for your hope. And I'm praying that this pilgrimage for them, and really for the whole Church, is a reason for hope."[43]

In an interview with NBC's [Anne Thompson](/source/Anne_Thompson_(TV_journalist)) In April 2019, Tobin said:

"The Church, I think, is having its own conversation about what our faith has us do and say with people in relationships that are same-sex. What should be without debate is that we are called to welcome them." Tobin was then asked about language in the [Catechism of the Catholic Church](/source/Catechism_of_the_Catholic_Church) that refers to [homosexuality](/source/Homosexuality) as "intrinsically disordered." Tobin answered, "Well I don't call them 'intrinsically disordered' ... It's very unfortunate language. Let's hope that eventually that language is a little less hurtful."[44]

Tobin in 2019 expressed his support for the 2017 book called *Building a Bridge*, by Father [James Martin](/source/James_Martin_(priest%2C_born_1960)), [SJ](/source/Society_of_Jesus), which called for the church to modify its relationship with [LGBT people](/source/LGBT_community). Tobin commented that

"in too many parts of our church, LGBT people have been made to feel unwelcome, excluded, and even shamed. Father Martin's brave, prophetic, and inspiring new book marks an essential step in inviting church leaders to minister with more compassion, and in reminding LGBT Catholics that they are as much a part of our church as any other Catholic."[45]

### Political polarization

In June 2014, Tobin warned that the [ideological polarization](/source/Ideological_polarization) of American political life "helps to contribute to the [balkanization](/source/Balkanization) of American Catholics into so-called right wing and left wing, or progressive and traditionalist, factions, who point fingers at each other". Speaking at a meeting of the College Theology Society, he said that:

"In my opinion, finger pointing does a great harm to religious life because it makes us defensive ... [and] we feel constantly compelled to defend ourselves against other parties in the church."[46]

### Tridentine Mass

In April 2023, Tobin said that he sympathized with Catholics who were unhappy about restrictions on the Tridentine Mass that were published by Pope Francis in his 2021 moto proprio *[Traditiones Custodes](/source/Traditionis_custodes)*.

I would say the experience of feeling banished is something that is sadly part of the signs of the times, not simply for people who very much love the Traditional Mass.[47]

### Women in the church

Tobin supports greater roles for women in the Catholic Church. In an interview with *[The New York Times](/source/The_New_York_Times)* on December 22, 2017, Tobin said that he "understand[s] the consternation" among women who find themselves frustrated that they are not permitted to become priests. When asked about the possibility of a female cardinal, he responded, "Maybe my theology isn't sophisticated enough, but I don't believe that there's a compelling theological reason why the pope couldn't name a woman cardinal."[48]
