Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, similarly criticized Trump\u2019s rhetoric in a 2015 <em>Washington Post<\/em> op-ed, which Pope Leo shared widely. Recently, Catholic commentator Rocco Palmo spotlighted Auxiliary Bishop Evelio\u2019s emotional appeal against mass deportations, asking, \u201cDo you not see the suffering?\u201d Palmo also highlighted Cardinal Cupich\u2019s 2017 article denouncing refugee bans as a \u201cdark hour\u201d in U.S. history.
