Catholic Bishops Regret White House Meeting and Prayer Photo With Trump
Catholic bishops have expressed regret over a White House meeting and prayer photo with President Donald Trump, stating the image was used for political purposes.
Burlington Plattsburgh, VT, October 25, 2026 —
Catholic bishops have expressed regret over a meeting at the White House and a prayer photo with President Donald Trump, saying the image was used for political purposes.
The available account does not identify the bishops involved, say when the meeting took place, or describe who arranged or released the photograph. It also does not specify how the image was used or provide the bishops’ exact words beyond their stated regret and concern about its political use.
The account links the bishops’ regret to the photograph’s use, but provides no further details about the meeting or the prayer depicted. It does not say whether the bishops objected to the meeting itself, the image’s circulation, or both.
No additional response from the White House or President Trump is included in the information provided. The account also does not describe any follow-up action by the bishops. Without those details, the scope of the disagreement and the circumstances surrounding the image cannot be established from the available information.
