Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the archbishop of New York who is friendly with President Trump, told journalists in Rome Sunday morning that he hoped Trump “didn’t have anything to do with” the image posted to social media showing Trump as the Pope.
When asked if it offended him, Dolan said, “it wasn’t good.
”The New York State Catholic Conference said on X: “There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President. We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us.”
