Two Catholic bishops have expressed regret about agreeing to a White House meeting that produced a publicly distributed photo of them praying with Donald Trump.
Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob, in a statement titled “A Public Apology,” said Sunday that he had received many questions and comments — some of them distraught — about the meeting on Thursday which he and 11 other bishops attended.
He said the meeting was speedily publicized by the White House with photos and a video, without consent of the participants, and less than two weeks away from the midterm elections.
The White House has private rooms where there is an expectation of privacy, but even if privacy didn’t apply, a persons image can’t just be used willy nilly without consent.
Just because you’re walking down the street, in public, doesnt mean I can take your photo and do what I want with it.
If rules meant anything to this administration you might have a point, but they don’t, so of course the image will be used any way they please.
