Twelve days before the midterm elections, two archbishops and 10 bishops arrayed around the Resolute desk to lift the presidential office and its holder in ostentatious public prayer, including a laying-on of hands by our own Denver… The controversial visit by the Denver Archbishop to the White House by two archbishops and 10 bishops, raising the Presidential office and its holder in public prayer, has caused controversy within the Catholic hierarchy. The Vatican called the meeting an inappropriate meeting and an insult to Pope Leo XIV. The event was reportedly conceived and organized by the Heritage Foundation and the White Administration’s “Faith Office’ to shore up eroding Catholic support under the guise of seeking spiritual advice. The backlash has led to some explanations from several of the attending hierarchy, including apologies from one of the two Archbishops, Jeffrey Grob of Milwaukee, and James Golka of Denver. Despite these apologies, Steele concludes that this trip was only a prayer opportunity for the Church and its leader.
