多位美国天主教主教近日公开就其在白宫与唐纳德·特朗普的会面进行道歉，并强烈谴责该次宗教活动被政治利用 13。主教们指出，原本旨在进行宗教祈祷的聚会结果被视为对信仰的剥削，且被转化为竞选宣传素材 12。这一争议的核心在于白宫方面分享了一段视频，显示特朗普与主教们在椭圆形办公室共同祈祷，此举引发了教会内部的强烈不满和批评 234。
具体而言，密尔沃基总主教明确表示，主教们并未授权发布相关视频或照片，强调这些影像资料未经明确许可便被用于为前总统谋取政治利益 12。得梅因主教则指责白宫将这次祈祷合影操作化为政治宣传工具，称整个事件是一次典型的“竞选照片拍摄机会”（campaign photo op） 14。尽管有报道称在参与活动的12名主教中仅有2人直接表达了后悔之情，但整体领导层已正式声明与该政治行为保持距离，重申会面的初衷绝非政治性质 134。
A group of Catholic bishops has issued a public apology following their visit to the White House, stating that the meeting with former President Donald Trump was politically exploited. 13 The controversy erupted after the White House released a video showing the bishops praying with Trump in the Oval Office, an act church leaders described as being manipulated for campaign purposes rather than serving religious intent. 24 Two of the twelve bishops present have specifically expressed regret over the incident, emphasizing that the original purpose of the gathering was spiritual and not political. 12
The Milwaukee Archbishop stated that no explicit authorization was given for the release of the video or photographs associated with the prayer session. 1 Similarly, the Bishop of Des Moines accused the administration of turning the prayer photo opportunity into political propaganda, arguing that the event had been co-opted to benefit Trump’s political interests. 12 In response to the backlash, senior Catholic leaders have publicly distanced themselves from the former president, clarifying that the meeting was never intended to be a partisan activity. 34
