Catholic bishops regret White House prayer photo with Trump, say it was used politically
Bishop William Joensen of Des Moines issued his own statement, saying "many things tied to this present Administration" were "blatantly at odds with our Catholic faith" and wishing he had been "more shrewd and less simple, like those who exploited our meeting for partisan political purposes.
Instead, White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers replied, “There has never been a greater president for Catholic Americans than President Trump, and his strong record proves it.
“Permission for the public distribution or posting of either the video or photos was not given by the bishops,” Grob said in the statement.
