New York’s Cardinal Timothy Dolan had a lot to say about Pope Francis, who died on Monday, however he saved his remarks temporary.

“Believe me, I could preach longer,” Dolan stated Tuesday throughout a Mass at Manhattan’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral. “But Pope Francis always complained about priests preaching too long.”

As an alternative, Dolan used the 45-minute noon Mass to laud the late pontiff as “a gift to be long savored.”

“He was a troubadour of God’s mercy, constantly preaching God’s tender mercy for us and encouraging our tender mercy for one another,” Dolan stated. “For us Catholics, this is a death in the family. We didn’t call him Holy Father for nothing.”

Dolan supplied prayers for Pope Francis on the venerable cathedral the archbishop dubbed “America’s Parish church.”

Becoming a member of him had been Christian, Jewish and Muslim clergy in addition to civic and elected leaders together with Mayor Adams.

Dolan saluted the worldwide Catholic chief a day after the pontiff died after a stroke and coronary heart failure at his Vatican house.

The frail Francis had celebrated Easter with public phrases to his devoted flock and a quick assembly with Vice President Vance.

Dolan even discovered time for a lighthearted second when he requested Archbishop Gabriele Giordano Caccia, the Holy See’s consultant to the United Nations, if he was out of a job now.

Caccia will ship a mass in Pope Francis’ honor at St. Patrick’s on Saturday.
