The Catholic leader said he preferred that Trump and parishioners at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan be at the service in person but acknowledged the social distancing required in one of the states hit hardest by COVID-19.

"The president has seemed particularly sensitive to the religious community," Dolan told "Fox & Friends."  "I'm in admiration of his leadership."

Trump called himself the "best [president] in the history of the Catholic Church" during the conference call with Catholic leaders and educators Saturday, Crux reports.

The president also pledged support for Catholic schools, as Dolan and other religious leaders say they are being hard hit as fewer people are able to give to the church amid job losses and other economic turmoil.
