In an interview that aired on Sunday, Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York reportedly stated that President-elect Trump “takes his Christian faith seriously.”
“I’ve had talks with him before in the past where he’s pretty blunt about, you know, he can’t say that he was raised as a, as a very zealous Christian, but he takes his Christian faith seriously,” Dolan said during a new interview with Maria Bartiromo.
Dolan stated that he conversed with Trump at the Notre Dame Cathedral recently.
Earlier this month, the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral was witnessed by President Trump and First Lady Jill Biden.
The cathedral was struck by a catastrophic fire in spring 2019, which caused the spire and timber latticework of its roof to collapse.
In her interview with Dolan, Bartiromo also acknowledged the recent assassination attempts against the president-elect this year.
“It’s hard to explain, other than it was God’s work,” Bartiromo said.
“Yeah, you know, I think of, Maria, I think of Ronald Reagan and John Paul II. Both survived assassination attempts very close to one another, and when the two of them met for the first time, Ronald Reagan said to Pope Saint John Paul II, ‘Mother Teresa told me that she thinks the Lord spared me, because the Lord has somethin’ special in mind for me.’” Dolan said.
“And Pope Saint John Paul II smiled and said, ‘She told me the same thing,’” he added.
