Lawmakers had agreed not to reach out for handshakes from Pope Francis as he entered the House chamber, so it was a pointed and deliberate move when the Pope saved his only handshake for Secretary of State John Kerry.

Lawmakers were urged to not use the Pope’s speech for partisan cheerleading, as it should be. But it shouldn’t go unnoticed that the Pope honored John Kerry for his historic work on the Iran deal — a deal Republicans have been trying to destroy since negotiations started.
