U.S. Cardinal Timothy Dolan said on Sunday that President Donald Trump’s posting of an AI-generated photo showing himself as the pope "wasn’t good" but declined to say whether the White House should apologise to offended Catholics.

President Trump shared an AI-generated photo of himself dressed as the pope just days after telling reporters that he'd "like to be pope."The image – which Mr. Trump first posted on his social media platform Truth Social – was also shared by the White House's official social media account on Friday.
