Archdiocese of Indianpolis has resettled a refugee family

And of course the Governor of Indiana is complaining because the Archbishop isn't doing what the GOP wants;

The Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis has resettled a family of Syrian refugees in Indianapolis, Archbishop Joseph Tobin said in a statement Tuesday morning.

He said the family arrived safely in Indianapolis Monday night.

Pence's spokesman, Matt Lloyd, issued a statement Tuesday morning in response to the Archdiocese's decision:

"The governor holds Catholic Charities in the highest regard but respectfully disagrees with their decision to place a Syrian refugee family in Indiana at this time."
