(Vatican Radio) Friday January 20th marks the day that Donald Trump is sworn in as 45th president of the United States of America, following an election campaign that has deeply divided the nation.

Trump will attend a service at St John’s Episcopal Church near the White House and swear the oath of office before delivering his inaugural address on Capitol Hill.

He and vice president Mike Pence then lead a parade, under tight security, down Pennsylvania Avenue which is expected to be lined with both supporters and those protesting against the views and policies of the new president.

Massimo Faggioli is a historian, author and professor of theology at Villanova University in the United States. He talked to Philippa Hitchen about his expectations for the Trump presidency and the divisions that have also marked the Catholic Church in the lead up to this inauguration day
