"What do you think about this rift between the Pope and President Trump?""Obviously, I love and respect and admire and have tremendous devotion to Pope Leo," Dolan replied. "So, and Marco Rubio. I've admired him for a long time. I don't know him that well, but the times I have been with him have been, he's extraordinarily insightful and perceptive.""It would not be rare for an American Secretary of State to meet with the Holy Father," he continued. "But I think that there's no denying the fact that this was especially pressing insofar as what I would consider the very unfortunate remarks of President Trump.""The friendship between the Holy See and the American government has been strong and vibrant, and they both know they need each other."
