The White House Faith Office scheduled a meeting with Catholic leaders to discuss policy matters, including immigration and abortion.

Catholic Leaders Feel ‘Manipulated’ and ‘Exploited’ After Trump’s Oval Office Photo Op Catholic leaders who were photographed last week praying with Donald Trump in the Oval Office said they felt “manipulated” and “exploited” by the way the meeting was publicized.
