Archbishop Jeffrey Grob of Milwaukee apologized after he and 11 others prayed over President Trump in the Oval Office last Thursday. Grob said the group came in good faith to work for the betterment of their fellow human beings, but criticized the White House for posting video and photos of the event without permission. The episode has drawn attention to the blending of religious ritual and partisan politics.

Why now: The unusual public apology and the unauthorized White House release of images of a religious ceremony with the president are drawing scrutiny.
