Cardinal Dolan describes Pope XIV as 'citizen of the world,' will build bridges with Trump
Fox News
Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York has hailed Pope Leo XIV as a "citizen of the world" who will seek to build bridges with President Donald Trump and other global leaders.
"It should not startle us that we would look to Pope Leo as a bridge builder. That's what the Latin word ‘pontiff’ means, he's a bridge builder," Dolan said after being asked by a reporter if the pontiff would be a "counterweight" to Trump. Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.

"Will he want to build bridges to Donald Trump? I suppose, but he would want to build bridges with the leader of every nation. So I don't think at all my brother Cardinals would have thought of him as a counterweight to any one person."
