跟进：白宫回应主教祈祷争议：发言人称「从没有哪位总统比特朗普对天主教徒更好」，对是否取得同意不作答

白宫10月27日回应了天主教主教团白宫祈祷照片争议。据美联社与《纽约邮报》报道，当被问及白宫公布照片与视频是否取得主教们同意时，白宫新闻办公室拒绝回答；白宫发言人 Taylor Rogers 改以特朗普的宗教纪录作答：「从没有哪位总统对美国天主教徒比特朗普更好，他强有力的纪录可以证明这一点：他制止了联邦政府把基督徒当作武器打压，捍卫并扩大了我们的宗教权利，赦免了反堕胎活动人士，制止了对我国儿童的化学阉割，并保护了父母的权利。」

前情是：12位天主教主教10月22日在白宫椭圆形办公室与特朗普一同祈祷，白宫随后公布了照片与视频，时值11月3日中期选举前不到两周。密尔沃基总主教 Jeffrey Grob 10月25日发表题为《公开道歉》的声明，称照片与视频未经参与者同意即被公布、这场神圣的祈祷被「操纵」利用，并为自己参加致歉。得梅因主教 William Joensen 随后也发表声明，称主教们无意为任何政党或候选人背书，并写道：「但愿我当时更精明、少一些天真，不像那些把我们的会面用于党派政治目的的人。」

主持这场祈祷的丹佛总主教 James Golka 在接受《丹佛天主教报》采访时立场不同：他承认视频的政治含义令人担忧，但强调为民选官员祈祷是天主教的长期传统——「这正是天主教徒所做的：我们为人祈祷，无论我们与他们意见是否一致，我们始终为我们的国家和领导人祈祷。」据《纽约邮报》报道，这场会面由传统基金会安排，原定议题包括移民执法、宗教工作者签证等天主教关切事项，主教们先与白宫国内政策工作人员会谈90分钟，随后进入椭圆形办公室祈祷；Grob 说，主教们当时不知道现场正在录像。密尔沃基总教区对 Fox News Digital 表示不再进一步评论。

Follow-Up: White House Responds to Bishops' Prayer Controversy, Citing Trump's Record for Catholics, Declines to Answer on Consent

The White House responded on October 27 to the controversy over photographs of Catholic bishops praying with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. Asked whether the bishops had consented to the release of the photos and video, the White House press office declined to answer, according to the Associated Press and the New York Post. Instead, spokeswoman Taylor Rogers cited Trump's record: 'There has never been a greater president for Catholic Americans than President Trump, and his strong record proves it: he stopped the weaponization of the federal government against Christians, proudly defended and expanded our religious rights, pardoned pro-life activists, stopped the chemical mutilation of our nation's children, and protected parents' rights.'

Twelve Catholic bishops prayed with Trump in the Oval Office on October 22, and the White House released photos and video less than two weeks before the November 3 midterms. Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob apologized in a public statement on October 25, saying the images were distributed without the participants' consent and that a sacred moment had been 'manipulated.' Des Moines Bishop William Joensen also distanced himself, saying the bishops never intended to endorse a party or candidate and wishing he had been 'more shrewd and less simple, like those who exploited our meeting for partisan political purposes.'

Denver Archbishop James Golka, who led the prayer, struck a different note in an interview with the Denver Catholic, acknowledging concerns about the video's political implications while stressing that praying for elected officials is a longstanding Catholic practice. The meeting, arranged by the Heritage Foundation, was intended to address immigration enforcement, religious worker visas and other Catholic priorities; Grob said the bishops were unaware they were being recorded. The Archdiocese of Milwaukee declined further comment.
