跟进：纽约慈善修女会公开信要求 12 位主教就白宫祈祷公开道歉

纽约——据 10 月 26 日宗教媒体报道，纽约慈善修女会（Sisters of Charity）发起公开信，要求 12 位曾在白宫椭圆形办公室为特朗普总统祈祷的天主教主教向信众与教宗公开道歉；公开信已获得约 2500 人联署。信中称，主教们“让一场政治操作把祈祷搬上舞台”，而当时提前投票已经开始；修女们写道，她们的“首要忠诚不是总统、政党甚至机构，而是福音”。

背景：10 月 22 日，12 位主教在白宫与特朗普会面并在椭圆形办公室祈祷，白宫随后公开发布了现场照片与视频；美国天主教主教团 10 月 23 日声明该活动并非主教团组织、与主教团无关（本站 10 月 23 日补充稿已报道）。密尔沃基总主教杰弗里·格罗布 10 月 25 日发表公开道歉，称与会者事先未被告知祈祷会被录制公开、自己“被利用了”；得梅因主教威廉·乔恩森亦表示遗憾。

白宫发言人未正面回应是否征得主教同意发布影像，仅强调特朗普对天主教美国人的政绩。主教团文件规定教会不得为任何候选人或政党背书，事件仍在发酵。

Follow-Up: Sisters of Charity of New York Open Letter Asks 12 Bishops to Publicly Apologize Over White House Prayer

New York — According to October 26 religious media reports, the Sisters of Charity of New York launched an open letter demanding that the 12 Catholic bishops who prayed for President Trump in the Oval Office at the White House publicly apologize to the faithful and to the Pope; the open letter has gathered about 2,500 signatures. The letter says the bishops 'let a political operation put prayer on a stage,' at a time when early voting had already begun; the sisters wrote that their 'first allegiance is not to a president, a political party, or even an institution, but to the Gospel.' Background: On October 22, the 12 bishops met with Trump at the White House and prayed in the Oval Office, and the White House subsequently released photos and video of the event; the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops stated on October 23 that the event was not organized by the conference and was unrelated to it (reported in this site's October 23 supplement). Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob issued a public apology on October 25, saying attendees had not been told in advance that the prayer would be recorded and released and that he had been 'used'; Des Moines Bishop William Joensen also expressed regret. A White House spokesperson did not directly respond to whether the bishops' consent had been obtained to release the footage, emphasizing instead Trump's record for Catholic Americans. Conference documents bar the Church from endorsing any candidate or political party, and the episode is still developing.
