Two Catholic bishops have expressed regret over a White House prayer photo with President Trump, stating they felt it was used for political purposes.
Springfield, MO, October 25, 2026 —
Two Catholic bishops have expressed regret over a prayer photo taken at the White House with President Trump, saying they felt the image was used for political purposes, according to the information provided.
The account does not identify the bishops, say when the photo was taken or released, or describe the circumstances surrounding the prayer. It also does not specify how the image was used politically or provide the bishops’ exact statements. Those details were not provided, so the scope of their concerns cannot be determined from the available information.
The reported regret concerns the photo’s use, rather than offering further detail about the prayer itself. The account does not say whether the bishops objected to the photo being taken, its publication, or a later use of the image. It also does not identify who shared or presented the photo, or whether the bishops took any additional steps after expressing regret.
No response from the White House or President Trump is included in the information provided. The identities of the bishops and the timing of their remarks are also unavailable. Without those details, it is not possible to establish the full context of the photo or how the bishops’ concerns were communicated.
The available account therefore establishes only that two Catholic bishops expressed regret about the White House prayer photo and said they felt it had been used for political purposes. Further information about the image, its use and the bishops’ statements was not provided.
