President Trump and Joe Biden speak at 2020 Al Smith Dinner (C-SPAN)

President Trump said that anti-Catholic bigotry “predominates in the Democrat Party”; the former vice president said, “Throughout my life of public service I’ve been guided by the tenets of Catholic social doctrine—what you do to the least among us you do to me.” Cardinal Timothy Dolan recalled the friendship between the late Cardinal John O’Connor and Mayor Ed Koch, despite their differing views.
