On the issue of immigrant children being separated from their parents, A.G. Jeff Sessions is quoting St. Paul's letter to the Romans. The last time St. Paul was invoked politically was during the 1950s campaigns. Norman Vincent Peale, a prominent minister, had used a reference in disparaging candidate Adlai Stephenson's qualifications. When a press reporter asked Adlai to comment he replied "Frankly, I found Paul appealing and Peale appalling." He was just warming up for his later jousting with the Russians at the United Nations.

St Paul's letter is a favorite reading at weddings. It was read at my daughter's last weekend. Or was it to the Corinthians?
