Cardinal Timothy Dolan, head of the Archdiocese of New York, said Francis “touched us all with his simplicity, with his heart of a humble servant.”
Dolan noted in a statement that he was part of the conclave that elected Francis in 2013 and welcomed him to New York in 2015 when the pope also visited Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Cuba. It was his only trip to the United States.
"I join with people all over the world, not only Catholics, but people of all faiths or none at all, in mourning the passing of our beloved Pope Francis this morning," Dolan said
