Cardinal Timothy Dolan has said that United States Vice President JD Vance apologised to him after suggesting that Catholic bishops supported immigration for financial gain.

The archbishop emeritus of New York made the remarks during an interview with EWTN on 20 February, when he was asked to comment on the vice president. Reflecting on their relationship, Cardinal Dolan said: “I’ve met him a number of times. He’s a very good guy. I enjoy him a lot. I agree with a bunch of the things he talks about. At times, though, I’ve said, ‘Uh-oh – can’t agree with you there.’”
